All is Well in Rock Hall

All is well in Rock Hall. Winds are still gusting, but the worst is over.

We took a walk downtown this afternoon. Two blocks from the marina, you wouldn't even know the winds were gusting up to 50 knots on the water! White caps were smacking the back of our boat at the dock.

We had hand-dipped ice cream cones for lunch (yum!) and went to the grocery store for Italian bread to go with the sausage and spaghetti I cooked for dinner. Tomorrow we'll go to Watchman's Restaurant for all-you-can-eat crabs (they have a two hour limit so crab pickers like me don't eat the profits).

Tomorrow we'll put the canvas back on and reorganize the boat. Everything is downstairs with us at the moment and it's a bit crowded down here! No damage, thank God.

Ran into a fitter from home who docks his boat at Gardner's Basin. He anchored last night and his anchor dragged and he hit another boat, then he anchored again and the anchor didn't hold in all the winds and he went aground. He was able to get off this morning with the higher tide. Glad we were able to find a slip in a marina.

We're calling it an early night. Lots of work tomorrow and very little sleep last night, especially for Chuck who was on deck 1:30-5 a.m. keeping an eye on the boat and dinghy.
