After spending the weekend, the very hot weekend in Chesapeake City, we motored down the Elk River to Havre de Grace where our nephew, Christopher Seibel, joined us. Chris arrived Monday afternoon. We had dinner aboard after sharing mussels at the Tidewater Inn. In the morning, we motored around for a couple of hours--again, no wind. Chris did a super job of manning the helm. It was a beautiful day and we were sorry Chris couldn't sail away somewhere with us. At least he got a taste of it. Above are some pictures of Chris.
The anchoring in the Havre de Grace area was very unusual. It seemed like there were concrete blocks across which the anchor would drag when we first anchored. So we moved. Then when pulling up the anchor in the new location, it felt that we were caught again on concrete. Not a good experience. Our night was also interesting. The Amtrak railroad runs across the bridge at Havre de Grace. All during the night, long, noisy trains crossed the bridge. Havre de Grace is a charming town to visit, but we were less than entralled with the anchorage.
