After a short sail with our nephew, we motored to Fairlee Creek on the eastern shore. It's was a lovely anchorage and was the location of my great grandfather's home. Met some friends of an old friend, Estee Edwards, Richard and Sue on Lionheart. Estee, a former coworker and friend from Denver, now lives in Long Beach, CA. When she heard we were going to be sailing in the Bahamas this past winter, she told us of her friends who would be on their trawler there. Well, we never saw them there. Imagine our surprise to find them in tiny Fairlee! Unfortunately, we had just missed seeing Estee and her husband, Rick, who had been traveling in their RV a few days before in the area! We ended up spending an enjoyable evening with Richard and Sue the next night in Rock Hall.
In addition to meeting new friends, Mike practiced his skill at crabbing. He managed to snag about 5 crabs which we ate the following morning in an omelet. The crab pictured above, Fred, unfortunately didn't make it --as far as the omelet, that is. We also were enchanted with the ducks who visited the various boats hoping for food.
