Sun, May 21 Honga River to San Domingo Creek
Anchor up by 7 am. The boat and Tom literally pulled up the anchor by hand. It came up clean and easy. Headed out into the Honga River holding our breath as we checked the water conditions on the Bay. A nice surprise - 1 ft. rollers - so glad we waited til today to continue our travels. The Skies are overcast but we can see other cruisers also moving on the calm seas. The ride into the Choptank river and up into the Creek was pleasant. We anchored and dropped the dingy to head into town. Another boating glitch, the dinghy motor only runs in idle and goes very slowly. It took us 24 minutes to travel 1/2 mile. Short Vacation also had trouble with their dinghy motor so they opted to stay aboard. Town was a nice walk and we visited the marina to observe a damaged sailboat. Its mast broke in half in the big winds and seas yesterday. We watched as a crane lifted the mast off the boat and put it on the shore. Interesting. Tom and I strolled through town, stopped at the Pub for a beer and a sandwich, then back to the boat for a peaceful night.
Anchored San Domingo creek at St. Michael's back door
Woke up to a crabber who had put his trotline right in front of our boat.
Luckily it was not over the anchor so retrieving the anchor was not a problem.
