Day #289; Loop Miles to Date = 3,966
No pics in this post...frankly, some days, we simply forget to take any. Or we snap a few, and they turn out to be lousy and not worth sharing. So...just some words today...
We found Cambridge to be a small, but rather tired town. Half of the store fronts in this town appeared to be closed, and the shops that were open weren't really all that interesting. There were some beautiful older homes and neighborhoods, but obviously not much commerce in the town itself. We did find a very nice restaurant (High Spot) where we had a tasty dinner on Thursday. But on Friday we took off, content that we had given Cambridge a shot.
It was a quick trip to Oxford, only about 14 miles, and we were delighted that our plans coincided with our "old" friends on Inspeyered 2. We figured that it had been 4 months since we had seen each other, and thus there was lots of catching up to do. We had dinner out one night, and docktails on Inspeyered 2 on Saturday. It was great fun to catch up, and as we both will be knocking around the Chesapeake for another couple of months, we plan to find each other again somewhere on the bay.
We now find ourselves once again at Herrington Harbour North, and will likely only be here for one night. We are however fussing with a fan motor on one of our air conditioners that is acting a little cranky. We had someone look at it at Oxford and other than being replaced, our only current option is to live with a noisy fan. But, we certainly do not want to be caught with an air conditioner on the fritz in this weather. So, we plan to check with an on-site refrigeration service company here tomorrow morning to see if they just might have a replacement fan. Chances are they won't, but in the event they do, we may hang out here if we can squeeze into their schedule.
As a side note, the folks at Brewer Oxford Marina were absolutely fantastic in offering to help us diagnose this fan issue. They had 2 different folks visit us to check it out...one of them the general manager on a very hot Saturday afternoon. They had no obligation to help us, but went out of their way to see if they could help. And after these 2 visits, they wouldn't even let us pay them for a service call. This is the sort of outstanding service that the top notch marinas and service yards offer, and it was very much appreciated. Brewer gets an A+ for effort and support. Unfortunately, they did not have any replacement fans that we could make use of, and therefor we decided to live with it for the time being.
All for now...hope everyone is staying cool...
