Destination Rock Hall, MD

It feels good to be back in the land of oysters and crabs (duh, LI is also home to oysters and crabs,) but there is nothing like a Maryland crabcake!
Today is fraught with amusing wake-up calls: the pump for the anchor washdown didn't pump water; note to self, check through hull valve first!  The engines lost power: note to self, check fuel level in fuel tank being used before departure each day!
May those be everyone's biggest problems today and everyday.
Overcaast, monochromatic, 15 kts wind pushing us down the Chesapeake Bay to Rock Hall; a picturesque fishing village on the western shore.  In Colonial times, George Washington, Thomas jefferson and James Madison rode sailing ferries between Annapolis and Rock Hall on their way to Philadelphia, New York and Boston. Today the town boasts commercial and recreational boaters and wonderful seafood restaurants and coincidentally it's "oyster night" at Bay Wolf!!!
