Welcome to Cambridge

Tuesday was a travel day. After waiting out the early AM rain. We arrived in Cambridge at 4:00 and tied up at the city FREE dock (we like FREE) and found only one other boat there. I don't know where all the boats are, I guess it has alot to do with the fuel prices. I am glad we have a full displacement trawler that sips fuel rather than gulp it. It also helps that we are running at slower rpm's and enjoying the journey.
Cambridge is another great biking town to explore, with a beautiful historic downtown, great waterfront and old historic homes that go on for block after block. It was a good day to bike and we took full advantage of it. We did the downtown first, then the historic homes, and then the waterfront. After a short nap we walked to the fish market and bought one pound of jumbo lump crab. (yum) I hope I don't offend anyone back in Georgia but, the blue crab are much better from the Chesapeake.
OK, now to the bike names. Today I decided that the boat has a name, the tender has a name, you have a name, but our poor little bikes have remained nameless since they arrived last Christmas. If anyone has any ideas, please let us know. Just think, you could be the one to name them.
Tomorrow we cast off the lines and travel to Oxford, our next port about 3 hours away.
