Thursday - June 8

We had a unique experience this morning.    Left our anchorage at 8:10 heading 19 miles on the Chester River to Chestertown, MD which we've visited 2x before (once by boat and once by car).    I was already thinking about a nice latte at the Evergrain Bakery and then a yummy lunch at the
Lemon Tree Café....(we remember they have a phenomenal chicken salad sandwich - 150-year old family recipe).
 
 We knew Chestertown was a small marina, but tried calling yesterday and this morning but no answer.    We arrived around 9:30 and no one was around plus several docks were under water?    We tied up Catrina but wouldn't be able to get to shore with all the water???     Apparently with high tide comes flooding and you would have to wait till it goes down + it's almost full moon which causes the tides to rise even further?    This was a first for us, but obviously not where we wanted to be...

So, we left and cruised back on the Chester River to the Chesapeake and then to the Sassafras River
and planning to stay here at the Sassafras Harbor Marina catch up on laundry and get some exercise (after anchoring out 2 nights in a row, we are ready to do some walking).

Most of the boats here (and there are a bunch even though we're out in the boonies), are from Delaware and Pennsylvania.

Sure hoping to see some sunshine and warmer temps tomorrow....
another cloudy, cool day on the water.

Went for a walk and checked out the laundry, café, marina gift shop, ship's store, etc.    We walked to the Granary, an old place on the Sassafras that was quit charming with beautiful views of the river.    We had drinks and happy hour appetizers (crab nachos and fish tacos).

Around 5:00, the sun came out and it was a beautiful evening!


Miss Priss into the lipstick!
