Oxford

We left the town dock at Cambridge and entered another calm beautiful day on the Chesapeake. We arrived at Oxford at 11:30, set the anchor, put Half Note in the water, and headed for town. Oxford is a quaint little town with about 150 historic homes, all the side walks are still the original brick, lots of old time marina's, and one grocery store that is stuck in the 60's. We stopped at the 60's grocery store, had sandwiches made up, and went to one of the parks on the water and enjoyed lunch and the view. After lunch we walked the town a little more and then boarded Half Note, headed back to the boat to pick up the kids and go for a swim and play on the new beach. Pica doesn't swim unless he is forced too, so he hung out in the compartment under the center console in the shade. (cool cat) If you are looking for shopping, Oxford isn't the place to go. If you are looking for a historic little laid-back town, this is it. Oxford is one of the most charming historic towns we have visited yet. Later, in the cool of the evening we will take Half Note out and explore the creeks and inlets. We will hang out here for another day, then Friday we will head for St. Michael's where we will be docked at the Maritime Museum Marina until the 23rd and then on to Annapolis.
