Memorial Weekend 2015

May 23 -25, 2015

Back to the Glebe --- Just a short 16-mile hop from the St. Mary's to this great spot we had found on our way to DC.  Anchored in nearly the same spot, it was just a bit busier than in early May.  Tubers, wave runners, fishermen -- all out enjoying the official beginning of summer!

We dropped the dinghy in and explored the area a little.  Of the two marinas shown on the chart, only one, Lewisetta, was still in business.  Not a lot going on there, but nice little "store" and small campground.  Garry's anxious to put the fishing pole to use, so got information on Maryland/Virginia fishing licenses.  He got to talking with a returning fisherman and before we knew it, Billy was driving us to the nearby (but too far to walk) sports store!!  Fishing license in hand, he's ready to hook the BIG ONE!!






             Flying "Dad's flag" in memory of Garry's dad Bill
               who served in Germany in WWII
               and lost his battle with Alzheimers at age 75.

             Love you and miss you ..............









With stiffening south winds and forecast for 3+ footers by Wednesday, we decided to move on.  22 miles later we dropped the hook in Mill Creek.  This one was recommended by our friends Bill and Lisa on "Changing Course" and definitely goes on our favorite list.  Protected from any direction, room for many boats, though we shared it with just 2 other sailboats.  

By Tuesday noon, we were safely docked at Dozier's Regatta Point Marina, where we'll be for the next couple of months.
