Slept in yesterday because the day was going to be quite easy. Had a leisurely cup of coffee and started out around 0900. Since Cambridge, Md was only 11 miles from Oxford,Md we went slow and enjoyed the beautiful weather we were having.
Got into the Cambridge Yacht Club around 1030 and was greeted by the Fleet Captain and a dock hand who helped us get into our slip. They only have finger piers here and two pilings, so we like to go bow in because in order to get off we have to climb over the forward railing since our dinghy is up on the swim platform. Elle is getting used to getting lines over those pilings with a little help from the boat hook.
The club house at the Yacht Club is very beautiful and the Fleet Captain boasted of their chef so we made reservations for dinner.
We got some information from the office and took our bikes into town. Found the visitor center with help from a motorist who actually led us there as we followed his car. "small town hospitality" The town was showing signs of economic stress. Lots of stores were boarded up or just closed. Not much traffic for a Saturday. Did find a store dedicated to the history of Harriet Tubman the underground railroad conductor during the slavery period. She lived in this county. Fascinating history and pictures.
It was good to get the bikes out and explore. haven't done that since Cape May.
So back to the boat to get ready for dinner. Showered, dressed up a little and off to the club. Had a drink at the bar before dinner. Surprised to see that our name was on a table next to the window. Nice touch. The Fleet Captain was right. The chef was great. Elle had Pork tenderloin medallions and I had a strip steak covered with crumbled bleu cheese. Both happy with our meal.
So today is Sunday and have a few chores to do and then off for a bike ride. So again will see you later.
