[Rhodes22-list] Update Re: Out and about this weekend - Chesapeake

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hi Rory,
We sailed down to Tilghman and Knapps Narrows Marina on Sunday and 
had a mildy rowdy Happy Hour with the Swan Creek Sailing Association 
Sunday night. It was only mildly rowdy because most of them were out 
late doing Kareoke at Harrisons the night before but the hors 
d'oeuvres were so good we didn't need dinner. Had a nice sail 
slightly reefed on Monday down the Choptank to the Tred Avon. Looked 
west and saw your boat on its lift but it was too much of a lee shore 
for us to venture over that way.

Anchored in Plaindealing Creek (off the Tred Avon) last night. Nice 
spot. Winds were 10 knots or more most of the night. I do like the 
way the Fortress dug in and held. I'm starting to gain some 
confidence that I know when it is set. We were snug and dry. A couple 
of rain showers but nothing heavy.

We listened to the weather forecast and decided to spend the day in 
Oxford so we are here at Mears Yacht Haven where the WIFI is good and 
they put us in a slip in the lee of the office in case it gets really 
windy. Not very windy yet. I'm beginning to think they've overreacted 
again but we'll be prudent and wait and see. One nice thing is that 
when we pulled up to the fuel dock here we were met by a couple of 
friends from Rock Hall who we didn't know were going to be here. 
They've rented a car so we made plans to go out for dinner tonight.

Tomorrow? Who knows? We'll play it by ear but right now, plans are to 
make it back to Knapps Wed. or Thurs. depending on conditions and 
then head for Tilghman Cr. or  Rock Hall on Thurs. or Fri. We'd like 
to be back in Rock Hall by Friday.

It's been a great cruise so far, even if the weather (or is it the 
weather forecaster) is not cooperating.
