Stayed at the town dock at Rock Hall. Guidebooks all say, “good free dock, except in south winds when it is exposed”. NOAA forecast: “Southwest winds 5, switching to NW 5-10”. So we warped the boat around to face bow into the expected light winds from the North. THEY LIED. Wound up with winds straight out of the south, 20-25 with higher gusts. No sleep that night, we eventually put out every bumper that we owned, tied, tightened and loosened lines, and bounced at the dock all night long. Too rocky to take pictures that night, but here is what it looked like next am. No damage to the boat, thankfully.
Before that happened we did go into town for ice cream. And of course when they saw the Skipper, they gave him a “doggie cup”.
