When last I updated, we were in Deltaville, VA. We left Deltaville and headed across the bay to the quaint town of Onancock. We rafted up with the Reves and dinghied into town for Church and for a couple of meals. Onancock is a wonderful stop and a very charming town. The famous hardware store is no longer there, a victim of the times. We stayed there for 2 nights, floating in the quiet river beside the town, in the backyards of the residents.
From Onancock, we cruised to Crisfield, the Crab Capital of the World. We stayed two days and on day two, Betsy and the Reves took the ferry to Tangier Island. Crisfield is slowing dying and none of the downtown restaurants were open. One of the marina employees took us about 3 miles to a crab shack, with the emphasis on shack, for a seafood supper. It was quaint and different, and indescribable.
From Crisfield, we went to Solomons, at the Spring Cove Marina, one of our favorites. We only stayed one night, but we did grocery shop, do laundry, and go to West Marine.
Today, we left Solomons and went across the bay to Oxford, MD. This is an old mom and pop marina with fixed, shaky docks, It is very difficult to get Beamer off the boat. And, the rate is $2.25 per foot. Apparently we just stayed at the wrong place. Other friends that stayed further up the river sdais they had restaurants, great marina, and a nice docking situation. We were suppose to stay two nights but decided to move on to Cambridge tomorrow. Cambridge is only $1.50 and the docking situation is better. We are still with the Reves and will be so for a few more days, when they leave us to continue the loop and we turn around and head south and home.
