Friday, September 21, 2007 - Middle River to Rock Hall, MD

Dora and I made preparations to cruise to the Chesapeake’s eastern shore with our friends in John and Linda‘s new sailboat. About 1000 we pulled anchor and went to a nearby marina (Long Beach Marina) to take on water and 40 gallons of diesel, pump out our sewage tank, and buy some ice.

By the time we had finished, John, Linda, Barry, barb and Dylan were almost ready to raise their anchor but they still had to fill their water tanks and pump out. We went ahead and set a southeast course for Rock Hall, Maryland. We ran the engine at 1500 rpm and arrived at the anchorage in Swan Creek near Rock Hall at 1700. Our friends arrived around 1800 and anchored nearby. They all cane over for a spaghetti dinner on our boat.
