Anchorage Swan Creek near Rock Hall

Sunset at Swan Creek
View in anchorage at Swan Creek--no nettles here!

We could see the boat shed that Shore Thing was kept in when we purchased her four years ago. Some would say we crossed our wake here!

Hinckley Marina, Oxford, MD Eastern Shore

Saying goodbye as we leave Oxford. Hope to see them again in the northeast when they do the Down East Loop
We met Margie and Jim in Grand Haven, MI, for the first time. We continued to met them along the way. Ping completed the loop in April. They were very gracious hosts in Oxford. They took us all over and even wanted to make us feel at home with a lobster dinner. Fun was had by all.
Dick, husband of Marge's cousin Kate, prepared the lobster. Nice apron!!



Getting ready for the fireworks in Oxford, July 3


Wooden boat museum in Oxford, MD We spent a few days here visiting friends and doing some boat maintenance.
