Back at Tilghman Island

June 3, 2011, Fri.

We slammed into waves all the way to Tilghman. Northwest winds 15 to 20. Rick & Tina ( Deep Devocean) took off for Annapolis, then Fred & Ginny (Dreamchaser) headed straight up the bay for Knapps Narrows Marina. Kate & Greg ( Grianan), Bob & I headed off to the Choptank to come into Tilghman on Chesapeake (TOC). Very quiet here. We’ll miss our trawler train.

We are now at TOC for a month. It’s a very nice marina, but boring and we rock a lot from boats going by. We would love to have gone to Knapps , but at more than double the price a month, it’s not in the cards. We did get together with all our friends at Knapps over the weekend. Although, Knapps looked a little worn, when compared to the marinas we’ve been to in the last year or so. Then again we left Mears in Oxford for Knapps 16 years ago and things do age, including us. Still it would have been nice to stay at Knapps with our friends for 4 months.

We have traveled another 1100 miles on the ICW. All together with our trip with Banshee and taking Jany K south from Wrightsville Beach, N.C., we have done about 4000 miles on the ICW, plus another 1100 miles when we head back south with Jany K in the Fall. The ICW is losing it’s excitement!
