Annapolis, Md. – Rock Hall, Md., June 3, 2008

We didn’t get going until much later than we had hoped. UPS didn’t arrive until 12:45. The marina manager kindly let us stay past the 11 a.m. checkout in order to wait for our package.

There was a small craft advisory for the Chesapeake starting at noon today, with the forecast of thunderstorms later this afternoon and evening, so we were anxious to get started.

We left Annapolis a little before 1 and had quite an easy trip. The forecast was off a little so we were able to have a fairly smooth ride. We were in Rock Hall and tied up by 3:30. We met up with Bob and Margaret at the marina. We hadn’t seen them in about a month so it was nice to be together again and also take delivery of our mail which they had picked up while in Minnesota. We went to their boat to catch up on everything the other had been doing and to also start planning the next phase of the trip. We will be going together from here to New York.

The four of us went to dinner at Watermans Crab House which is right next to the marina. We were able to take advantage of the early bird special (served until 7 p.m.). The food was quite good.

Rock Hall Maryland is a small town on the east side of the Chesapeake. Hopefully we’ll be able to explore tomorrow if it doesn’t rain all day.
