Havre De Grace MD

We arrived in Havre De Grace mid afternoon and met up with Steve and Diane again. A folk festival was in progress (no, not another farmers market) so we made our way through the booths of all the local craftsman and then walked over to the Duck Decoy Museum. Havre De Grace is the decoy carving capitol of the world. The Susquehanna River is the major source of fresh water for the Chesapeake Bay and a major stop for ducks, geese, and swans as they migrate. The swans travel 7,000 miles one way. I don't know when they have time to eat and nest but I guess it all works. The docks here are not the best, lots of weeds, shallow water and you needed a ladder to get on and off the boat so we left the next morning for Chesapeake City.
