Georgetown, MD

The Chesapeake is as hot, still, and muggy as we remembered it being. The water is brackish and brown, but the scenery is stunning. There are amazing homes right on the water with lots of land.

We ended up at Georgetown, MD on the Sassafras River. We are on a mooring at the Georgetown Yacht Basin enjoying the beautiful day. It is quiet and lovely. Since we are without a tender (although hopefully not for long) we have plans to grill tonight. Tomorrow we have decided to go on a quest for some Maryland crabs - although we are unsure of what is around these parts. Bill hasn't been here since he was in college; for me it's my first time.

Our plans have changed slightly. We were supposed to go to Rock Hall after our trip to Baltimore with Andrea. We have decided (and Island Packet graciously agreed to accommodate us!) to put the work done on the boat off until September when we are in Florida visiting Bill's family. We'll leave boat (which is going to be out of the water so we can't stay on it during that time anyway) in Rock Hall while we are spending time in St Petersburg. So after Baltimore we will be exploring all of the places in the Chesapeake that we haven't yet seen (and visiting some of our old favorites too!) between now and the next few months. And around the middle of October -- after the Annapolis boat show, Katie's bridal shower, a few Redskins games, seeing friends, and other things we have planned -- we'll start to head south to the Carolinas. We have to stay north of Savannah, Georgia until November 15th. Plans for the winter season are still up in the air.
