Boating to Cambridge, MD
Labor Day Weekend Sunday - Monday, September 5 - 6, 2010
Back     Home

On Sunday morning Suzette and I departed Town Creek for Cambridge, MD. A beautiful day in the bay. About a tow hour trip, we were able to stay on plane all but about 40 minutes of the way to Cambridge. When we arrived, we went under the  Highway 50 Bridge and continued northeast up the choptank River for several more miles.  We returned to the  Cambridge Yacht Basin, got fuel and went to our slip.  After tying up and cleaning up, Suzette and I walked into Cambridge and had dinner at Bistro poplar. A very nice dinner. Great food - great service. Highly recommend it.  Fried Green Tomatoes with lump crab and sauce was a terrific appetizer.  After dinner, we picked up something for breakfast at a Zip Mart and walked back to the boat. We watched a movie -  American Beauty.

Monday morning, we slept in a little bit, then got the boat ready and were underway by 1040. First 30 - 45 minutes were good in the river up at speed, but as we made the turn SW, waves increased to 2 - 4 and we had to slow to 6 knots. A long three hours into 15 - 20 knots and  3 - 4 foot waves. Made it back to Town Creek by 1540. Cleaned the boat up and called it a great weekend.
