We set out to do a little circuit on June 18 2008. We first went to see Solomon's Lump, and also got to see the Holland Island Bar spider. Due to boat difficulties we returned home after we went to Crisfield - This is the narrative for the end of the trip. As we approached the St. Mary's River, Bob complained that he didn't recognize the entrance to the river. I guess we've been relying too much on the computer charts. I got out the binoculars and started looking for the daymarks. It was more comfortable to use the binoculars without my glasses - I have been completely unsuccessful at figuring out how to attach a pad to my nose or the glasses so that metal piece doesn't dig into my nose. We saw a rainstorm approaching, but it did not appear to have any lightening in it. We reached the first marker (2S) at 1845 |
and were at marker 6 by 1905, having wended our way through the Z of the entrance shoals. As we were coming into our slip, it started to rain. I grabbed the lines from the middle piling, but that wasn't what Bob wanted - he wanted the ones from the forward piling. None-the-less, we tied up in the rain - there wasn't any wind to be a problem. We had been 47.6 nm and it took us 9.51 hours. We quickly locked up the boat and walked up to the Spinnaker to have dinner. I forgot my camera, but I was afraid to go back for it for fear that they would close before we got there. They had two soups on the menu - Maryland crab (which is a clear spicy vegetable soup and not the cream of crab) and chicken noodle. Over the chicken noodle it said "Soup of the Day". I thought the Soup of the Day would be a different soup than the ones on the menu, but Bob had the chicken noodle soup anyway, and the liver and onions. I said I would have spinach salad and a shrimp salad sandwich because I didn't think I was very hungry. Maybe the kitchen had been going to close, because they had to boil an egg for the spinach salad, which took 15 minutes, and I got it last. All of the food was very good. While we were waiting, I decided that I was hungrier than I had thought, and would have dessert. I got some kind of lemon pie - it was fluffy and tangy and good. Bob had rice pudding which the chef had made that day. It looked good although he said it didn't have any raisins in it. [All of what Bob ate are his favorite comfort foods] |

Bob moved the truck nearer to the dock, but we couldn't find but one dock cart. The guy on Hurricane was using the other one. So we had to make two trips with all the stuff (three coolers, two computer bags, and a bag of clothes each for Bob and me, the DirectTV receiver etc). It was raining gently and I tried to put down the side curtains and lost the zipper slide off the bottom of one of them. We were tired when we got home - just about in time for Fox News at 10. Bob fixed my glasses the next day. I was quite sore (joints and muscles), and Bob complained that he was tired. He is always surprised to be tired. |
| Daughter with three grandchildren 1999 |
1999 We've often taken our children and grandchildren out for a sail - either singly or in a group. This trip in 1999 was to see the tall ships come up the bay and we had our oldest daughter and her husband and her youngest son (on her lap), my second daughter's son (on the left) and my son (who was at the wheel) and his son (on the right). We also had this daughter's three children on the boat alone or with a sibling when they were older. My second daughter's children mostly were on the boat when they were younger and down in the Miami area when we had it down there. |

2001 This is our third daughter and her oldest son and her husband. They took day trips and overnight trips with us when they lived here in Maryland, but now they live in Texas, so the two younger children haven't been on the boat much yet. |
2008, July 28 My son's daughter had not been on the boat much. So when she came to visit us we wanted to take her out. Unfortunately the weather in the latter part of the week was not going to be good enough to sail, so we had to go Monday. We sailed out and Bob gave her the wheel. After we came back, she and I went swimming in the pool at the marina. |
| Jellyfish in the haul slip |
July 29, 30 and 31, 2008 She had a camera, but she didn't have the attachment to download the pictures. On Tuesday it was bad weather so we basically stayed in the house and we made the beds up for her father and brother for when they came up on Thursday. Wednesday I had some errands and so I took her with me, and we had some ice cream at a drive-through. Thursday, my son and his son arrive. Friday, we left for our oldest granddaughter's wedding in East Haven CT |

Rosalie, Incredible site you have! I'm just getting started. Loved picture of Mystic Maid. See more ASTA Tall Ships 2005 on my site. Doug (ex sailor) | bluecrab Thu Jul 22, 2004 17:20 UTC
I recommend Courtney's if you want for good seafood in a relaxed atmosphere. The crabs are excellent, her Maryland crab soup is wicked, fresh fish entrees are well prepared with generous portions, and her fruit cobblers are legendary. | utttz Mon Jan 20, 2003 18:47 UTC
