The Waterman in the picture was fishing on our stern Friday morning for blue crabs in a different way than I have seen before. He has a long line with bait every couple feet, the crabs hang onto the bait as it comes up on a roller you see on his port stern, he nets them and puts them into his baskets. (neat)
We weighed the anchor Friday mid AM and headed for St. Michael's, our next stop. We saw a couple cool boats on our trip I thought you might like to see. We arrived at St. Michael's harbor at our next marina, Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Marina mid afternoon and found our slip not the easiest to get into. We had to maneuver between pilings about 20 foot apart and 20 foot off the bulkhead at the same time turn September Song against the bulkhead. Oh, did I mention our spot is only about 65 foot (September Song is 60 foot including the swim platform) with a very expensive antique Museum boat on our bow. Thank goodness for a bow thruster, twin engines and a great crew. (Stephanie is great)
We took a quick look at the town last night, had dinner, and found the ice cream parlor. (YUM)
Time to get out Bee and Bop, (the bikes) thanks Patti, and Bee Bop to the farmers market, then go exploring.
