We planned to leave for Havre de Grace, Maryland around 1000 so we got up early and walked Sailor. After breakfast, we lifted the dinghy and engine topside and pulled anchor. The anchor line was filthy and even had filamentous algae growing on it. It took nearly 30 minutes to wash the rode and get the anchor aboard. We were nearly out of fresh water and needed to pump-out our sewage tank so we stopped at Stansberry Marina off Middle River before getting underway.
We passed Barry and Barb as they entered Middle River on their way back from a weekend cruise with friends and were out on the Chesapeake by 1230. It took about four hours to reach the Havre de Grace City Yacht Basin where we planned to stay for a week. A week’s stay with electric included was only $158.50.
We were too tired to cook so we picked up dinner at a small takeout restaurant associated with the marina. The meal consisted of fried shrimp and a huge pile of greasy French fries. It wasn’t especially good.
