Boating to Cambridge, MD

Back Home

Suzette and I RON'd on Hideaway Friday night. Walt completed the work on the davit Friday afternoon. On Saturday morning, Suzette and I repositioned Hideaway to Jim's outer piling and Walt brought the Zodiac over to Hideaway. We craned the Zodiac aboard about 0830. Davit works much better after repair. We had breakfast with Jim and Walt and got under way at 0930. We slow cruised into the Chesapeake, turned north and then turned into the Choptank River. Kevin and Katherine contacted us and we pulled into La Trappe Creek and joined Kevin, Katherine, Matt and Darcy. We put he Zodiac in the water and took turns trying it out. I worked great. Had it up to 30 knots with two people on board and without much trimming. We spent two hours in La Trappe, then loaded the Zodiac and made for Cambridge Municipal Yacht Basin. We tied up at the T head on H Dock. K- 2 II and Freedom II were a short walk down the dock. We all joined on Hideaway for drinks, then walked into Cambridge for dinner at Bistro Poplar. Had a wonderful dinner and returned to the boats. We had a good night on board. Got up Sunday morning, had coffee with Kevin and Katherine, and got underway about 0930. Some light rain showers the first two hours, but then cleared up nicely. We drove from the pilot house and slow cruised all the way to Solomons. We pulled into Zahniser's and used the pump out station then repositioned to B dock where we left the boat for some repairs to the navigation system. A wonderful weekend on the water and a great Father's Day.
