Georgetown, Maryland

We were directed onto one of the larger moorings from Georgetown Yacht

Basin. "These are 400 pound moorings - they'll hold you," said Ivan, the

dockmaster. Now I own three moorings in Castine. The two for aCappella have

5,000 and 10,000 pound stones on them. 400 pounds didn't seem very large

but it was dead calm six miles up the river in Georgetown.

 

Needless to say, we experienced wind gusts of 40-45 MPH just after dark.

The boat swung around and waves developed around us and it was quite an

event. Thankfully, the mooring didn't move but I was wondering for a

while...

 

Another launch into town for Tucker this morning. We walked a mile or so to

Galena and found a new Amish market called Ripples. It isn't in any of the

guidebooks and is an incredible find for cruisers. They had the best meats

and vegtables we'd ever seen. We lugged back 4 bags of goods.

 

Tonight we're going to the Granary for dinner. It's one of those things you

have to do when you come here.
