Tuesday, September 6th, Breton Bay
The sun was shining and the wind was still blowing, but we left Olversons Marina after a quick pumpout. The river had a small chop on it but the Potomac River had a headwind with 2 ft choppy water. We headed to the north side of the river and anchored in Breton Bay close to Leonardtown. We took the dingy into the dock to explore the town- mostly, the guys were hungry and wanted to eat. The waterfront in town has been remodeled and the park and dock are clean, fresh and new. Once ashore, the first obstacle is the walk up the hill into town. Town is small and sparse but after asking the locals we found the Old Town Pub. We did stop at 2 other restaurants but they either close at 3 on a Tuesday or they are not yet open for dinner. The Pub however was a good fit and Tom enjoyed his pulled pork nachos. Back aboard the boat, it was time to test the crab trap, so the chicken neck was tied on, the trap was weighted and overboard it went. No luck.
