Havre de Grace to Rock Hall

Day #281; Loop Miles to Date = 3,870

We had a blast with family on Thursday! Gigi, Linda and Carl drove down to meet us on the boat for a day and it was fantastic! They got in just before 11, and we toured the boat for a bit, and then went out for a really nice lunch at Tidewater Grill (thanks Mom!). Then we jumped back on the boat and went for a cruise up the Susquehanna as far as we could (only about 5 miles) to Port Deposit. We turned around and then went back out in the Chesapeake for a few miles, just because we could and it was a beautiful day. A really nice afternoon cruise. And then to top it off...we went into town for some terrific ice cream...none of us are admitting whether this was dinner or not?

The day was over too quickly, but we are so glad that we were all able to get together...it was so good to see family!

We hung around in Havre de Grace for another day, getting some laundry and a few other things done. We were able to take a bike ride around town and saw most of what the area has to offer...we enjoyed our time here in this quaint, small town.

On Saturday, we decided to head south again, and ended up back at Rock Hall Landings Marina. We caught up with our friends on Act lll and some other boaters who they had met for a Meridian Rendezvous...had a nice dinner out, and then they all took off on Sunday. We are at Rock Hall for another night, and then we will head south to explore a few places that we haven't seen yet.

  1. Really enjoying your posts and great to learn what the lifestyle is like on the Loop. I' wondering whether or not it would be worthwhile to have a combo washer/drier on board to save having to visit laundromats. Do you have any thoughts on that?

    1. It would be great to have a washer/dryer on board! However on our boat the only space for it is in the cabinet at the rear of the salon. 2 probs with this from our perspective. 1) We really utilize this space for storage and it would be difficult to repurpose it. 2) The only option is a combo Splendide unit which is usually functional,but far from perfect. For us, the negatives outweigh the positives, but others have them on their tugs.

      Certainly for other boat configurations , this could easily be a higher priority item.
