Sheet Music made it to the Aberdeen Creek anchorage, off the South River, just west of Annapolis. The Chesapeake Bay was full of debris and we were dodging 6 and 8 ft. logs, lumber and trees all day long. And, of the course, the usual crab traps!
We missed our friends and the annual 'A Dock Lobsterfest' today at Viking Yachting Center, our home marina.
We saw lots of tugs and barges. They are digging out high spots in the channel in two places. Barges were lined up ready move the spoilage. The operations were unlike the dredging we saw on the last trip.
Our friend, Ron Pence, who runs Singles on Sailboats, is here with 18 sailboats rafted in a circle. We anchored near them and, after dinner, took the dinghy over. We had to lie down in the dinghy and go under a catamaran, which is in the center of the raftup, to get to Ron's boat.
This photo was taken before the last boats arrived and completed the circle.
We met Ron's new friend, Dunya (pronounced doon-yah). They were having a chili cookoff and people were climbing boat to boat to try the different entries. Tomorrow morning the prize will be awarded for the best chili.
We plan to pull anchor and may head to St. Michael's, weather permitting. I LOVE it there and would like to visit again.
Fair Sails,
Kathy & Chuck
