Tuesday, May 23 - The East Shore

Tuesday, May 23 - The East Shore

In the planning stage of our trip, we anticipated spending at least a week on the Chesapeake.  Our weather and repair delays have made that impossible, but I still wanted to say we have been to the Eastern Shore. 

The weather forecast was for better weather in the morning, so we got an early start.  This picture is the beautiful shore just north of Solomons. 


It was a cloudy, yucky day but the waves weren't too bad and we made it to Oxford around noon.  We had planned to anchor out at one of the places suggested in our cruise book, but none of them looked great.  Danny settled on a spot that looked at least OK.  

We had hoped to dinghy into town and walk around, but it was cold and rainy, so we stayed on the boat all afternoon and evening.  Eating dinner out wasn't an option since Google Maps showed the closest restaurant as 7 miles away!

This was the quietest place we have ever been on this trip.  No cars, no boats, no people, no birds, nothing


The town itself was pretty from the water but I didn't get my visit to an Eastern Shore town.
