Full Moon Over Solomons... Time exposure

That's Interesting

Boats on the Bay.

Runabout

Rewind a couple of days...

Before leaving St. Michaels, Steve and I took his new boat, 'Lady Jayne' for a run up the Miles River, across Eastern Bay, and into Kent Narrows. Steve had some tackle rigged for Rock fishing and we picked up one of his buddies then had lunch at Redyes; a bar/restaurant on the water.

This little route of maybe 15 miles took only a few minutes. Steve's new boat is quite fast.

After lunch, we made a side trip up the Wye River where Steve pointed out Chef Boyardee's old compound. Further up the river we saw, the former Baltimore Ravens coach, Brian Billick's home.
All along the way were beautiful eastern shore estates.

It was a fun day.

Great Boat!

Happy Friday, everybody.

Cheers,

Was taken last night.
I wasn't ready for this sight and had to run back to the boat to get the camera and snap off a shot or two. Needed more preparation and time to set up... but, it didn't turn out too bad.

Solomons Moon

We're Number One... Finally!

This will not interest most folks who keep up with us, but, Damn!, we're finally number one at something positive, something we're not ashamed of.
Go Grizz!!

The Memphis Grizzlies were named the best overall professional sports franchise among 122 teams in the four major North American professional sports leagues (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL) in ESPN The Magazine’s 2013 Ultimate Standings.

How bout dat!

So Long To St. Michaels

Last night was our "Adios Dinner" at Theo's in downtown St. Michaels.
A lot of fun, excellent food, and wonderful company sitting around the bar. Our kinda place.

We've really enjoyed our time here, our friends made this a most memorable stay.
Today, we'll move on to Solomons Island, we'll miss our old buddies... till next time.
I've told Jayne, next year... we're moving in with them.
Kidding of course.... Of course?

Adios mi amigos.

Adios,

We got the grand tour...

Steve and Jayne drove us around and showed us their home and their home town. The weather is beautiful and this part of the world is too.
They took a modest house that's in town and transformed it into a very cool home. Their view of the harbor is framed by an isolated and protected natural patch of wetland, this is the scene from their bedroom windows.
Beautiful!


First was a tour of the historic Inn at Perry Cabin

The Inn at Perry Cabin

It's quite large and took two photographs to take it all in. Remember the movie 'Wedding Crashers'? It was filmed here.

 History of The Inn at Perry Cabin

Over the fireplace

Look closely at the details... a lot of nautical history combined

 The main dining room.

Old gallon oyster tins lined the ceiling of the old bar.

All in the details

That's how our day started and it was followed by a drive to historic Oxford and Easton for lunch.
It was so nice of Steve and Jayne to go out of their way to show us the area. This has been a top stop on our Chesapeake journey.
St Michaels is a wonderful old eastern shore town.

We're not done yet...

Cheers,

As we sat in our saloon yesterday... something blocked the sun.
I turned to look out the window behind us and saw this yacht pulling in. 140'

They brought in guests for lunch at the Crab House. After a couple of hours they backed away and left.

They were immediately replaced by this yacht.

Big boats for such a little harbor.

This got us to thinkin' about crabs....
Steve and Jayne picked us up and we also enjoyed crabs at the Crab House.

Got to meet a lot of locals... nice bunch of folks here in St Michaels.

Cheers,
