White Point to Calvert to Herrington Harbour North to Baltimore to Havre de Grace

Day #278; Loop Miles to Date = 3,810

Phew! Last week went by very quickly. We left White Point Marina on Saturday (which is on the Potomac) and by Tuesday afternoon we were at the north end of the Chesapeake at Havre de Grace. So in the last 7 days, we have been in 7 different marinas...much busier than we typically are. But, we wanted to get to Havre de Grace (Penn's Beach Marina to be exact) in order to meet some of Rob's family tomorrow (Thursday). Rob's Mom, sister, and brother-in-law are driving down from the Philadelphia area to join us on the boat...it's gonna be great! We've been looking forward to this date for some time...so all we need now is some cooperation from the weather...fingers crossed.

Here are some highlights from the past few days...

The weather behaved for the most part...the crew (the 4-legged variety) was fussing at the captain on a few occasions, but we managed with no real issues. White Point Marina was nice...very quiet, and a spot that we would definitely return to if it makes sense for our itinerary. Remote, but worth a stop for sure. Calvert Marina was a repeat (3rd time actually) and this time we tried the North location of the 2 Herrington Harbour Marinas. Both are resort marinas, but North was prettier, and had a full service yard that appeared to be capable of just about everything.

Then we stopped at Anchorage Marina in Baltimore...this is also a spot that we could return to...floating docks, and reasonable access to facilities. We didn't have a chance to do much on this visit (other than we both were able to get haircuts) and there is plenty to do in Baltimore to warrant a return trip. Then finally, we made it to Penn's Beach Marina at the mouth of the Susquehanna River...mostly it is a condominium complex with a small marina, but it suits us just fine!

So...tomorrow is fun with family, and then after that...who knows?

 
This was actually from Boathouse Marina in Colonial Beach...from our slip. We spotted this eagle feeding amongst a group of vultures. Interesting...

Now that's one tired crew member!
