A Leisurely Pace

Canoe Neck Creek Anchorage

Anchor up and moving on down the Potomac by 9 am on a sunny, breezy morning.  The wind picked up as the day went on until we had 20 kts -- on the nose of course.  With thunder storms in the overnight forecast, we decided to make it a long day to Canoe Neck Creek which provided good all around protection.  What a lovely spot!  After a long day, cocktails and sunset never felt so good.

Day 2 - Time to explore!  We took the dinghy out into St. Clements Bay and around the corner to a small marina at Colton's Point to fuel up and take a nice walk.  Thought we'd have a burger and a beer at the only bar in the tiny town -- found no food, but had a beer and a nice chat with "George" the owner.  He gave us directions to a nearby restaurant on the water.  So we hiked back to the dingy and headed for Morris Point for a late lunch.  

What a great tip ---- Morris Pt. was practically in sight of our anchorage!  The calamari and shrimp were great, but the best part was meeting BJ and Lori Moore who joined us later aboard Waterford for a delightful afternoon.

It's all about the people you meet along the way ....................

With the temperature approaching 90, we even got our first dip of the summer -- so refreshing!

After overnight thunderstorms, Garry pumped the water out of the dinghy and we took a little cruise over to Breton Bay.  By the time we got back, the sky was threatening again, so we put her back up and covered, ready to leave in the morning.  A lovely stay in this quiet anchorage.
