Spring cruise day 5

Knapp’s narrows was quite the experience.  In spite of its reputation, there was plenty of water and it was very enjoyable. Lots of cool boat building barns and wooden boats of all descriptions docked all along the way.  There was a distinct smell of fish though.

The wind on the South River was so excellent we had no choice but to sail past Harness Creek and all the way to the bridge, where we found a really nice accessible fuel dock right at the bridge.  The bridge was definitely tall enough to accommodate us so we will have to file that option away for the future to explore more thoroughly.







We anchored on Harness Creek and walked Quiet Waters Park, in between rain storms.











The park was full of nearly tame deer.

Spring cruise day 4

We visited the back door to Saint Michael's again but with a small group this time.  The sail there was pretty wild, high wind in exactly the right direction so everyone was tempted to skip it and go to Annapolis, but we had our heart set on this so we did it! The water was beautiful as usual, but Foxy's dock bar was closed with a sign that said they were preparing a surprise for the next day.





I got some cupcakes and peanuts at the last remaining grocery store in town, but I have to say that their prices seem to have exploded since the acme closed.  I think it was 7.99 for this can of nuts.

Spring cruise day 6

The evening of the sixth day we anchored on Swan creek and dinghies into Haven Harbor South to use the facilities.  For 10.00 a dinghy you can get a day pass to use the pools and the showers so we did, first hot shower in a week!

Spring cruise day 6

We left Harness Creek and then proceeded towards Dividing Creek on the Wye, since this is one of our absolute favorite spots. We were in 166 feet of water which is the deepest water we have yet seen.





Matt had to go up the mast since our 400.00 photosensitive mast top light that is a steaming/navigation/anchor combo light had failed.  It appeared to be full of water, so he brought it down and we intend to send it in for warranty replacement/repair.



The dinghy "dock" was exceptionally muddy and difficult to reach by way of balancing on a log.  We Went for a walk and all got plenty of ticks.
