We’ve decided to skip parts of the upper Chesapeake. No reasonable way to do any walking or sightseeing through St. Michaels or Annapolis or Baltimore, as we have to baby Artie’s foot and keep it dry for awhile. We ‘ve skipped ahead in Maryland, to Calvert Marina at the Solomons and then up to Rock Hall. Happy to see and hear from some fellow Loopers here at the back of the pack. Calvert’s was as good a stop as it was on the way down, and we did get to borrow the Mercedes (with 225,000 miles on it) to do a quick reprovision. Instead of the “free wall” at Rock Hall (see posts from last October, where we spent a LONG WEEK ONE NIGHT), we were able to get a slip behind a local restaurant. Generally, at restaurant stops there is either no fee for the slip or a nominal fee or some discount off of dinner. Not at Waterman’s Crab House. When you call in ahead of time, they say “take any slip”, no mention of a fee. Then they charge $1 per foot, plus $10 for power, and there is no discount or application of the slip fee towards the dinner. I’ll update this on Active Captain. We ate on the boat.
