A VERY SMALL QUAINT TOWN

Got up early this morning at almost sunrise and decided to get going since we wanted to do some exploring in our next stop. So by 0800 we weighed anchor and started down the bay. One picture we didn't share with you was last night as we relaxed on the back deck the most magnificent sunset came about. That is always a good feeling for the old salty saying. (red sky at night, sailors delight)

It came true because when we left the Rhodes River the sun was shining brightly and the wind was at our back as was the tide. We joined the train of boats heading south for awhile and then turned off to head for Oxford,MD. Went through Knapps passage and the bridge tender raised the bridge almost immediately after we called him. Into the Choptank River and eventually the Tred Avon up to a nice little anchorage right across from all the marinas.

It was 1130 hrs when we dropped the anchor and after putting things away and having a quick lunch put the dinghy in the water and cruised into the town dock.

Oxford is a very small quaint town with not too much to see. We walked all over and found a little museum which had a lot of memorabilia from the beginning which was in 1620. Got a map from them and walked some more. Went into the Robert Morris Inn which dates back to 1710. That's Elle sitting in the parlor of the inn.

Found a great homemade ice cream place and indulged. HMMMMM!!!

Getting back to the dinghy and going out to the Summer Wind we stopped at a 42'center cockpit Endeavor sailboat. it hailed from New Zealand but the owners did not sail it across. My last sailboat was that same 42 footer.

So going to grill some Salmon and enjoy the evening. See you soon......
