Rock Hall

     Once Hurricane Dorian got out of the way, we started to come down the Chesapeake Bay on Saturday Sept. 7th.  Our good friends Maggie and Rich Selo contacted us and said that they were going to be in Rock Hall, MD for a few days.  It was perfect for us to head there from Chesapeake City, so we did.  It was great to see them again.  The last time we saw each other was when we left Atlantic Yacht Basin back in the middle of June.  The 4 of us got caught up on our summers and had dinner together Saturday and Sunday evening.  Maggie is also a quilter, and it just so happened there was a cute quilt shop in Rock Hall.  Maggie and I decided we needed to support the local economy and put a dent in the quilt shop's inventory.

   Rock Hall is a very cute town.  They have really made an effort to be a destination on the bay.  There are several marinas, shops in town several restaurants and a grocery right in downtown.   The shops and homes in town are well kept and the people are very friendly.  They have also done murals around town.  It really makes the town look nice.

They even have done paintings around the storm drains, here is one example.

From Rock Hall we made an overnight at Solomon's Island, MD and then another overnight in Deltaville, VA.  Both travel days on the "Bay" were quite nice.  We saw large ships and light houses.

Here are some of the sites on our trip down the "Bay".

The Bay Bridge

Point No Point Light (that really is the name).

And then there was this crazy looking contraption that came up behind us.  Some type of military boat.  Really strange looking thing.  I was almost afraid of getting into trouble by taking pictures of the thing.

Our next stop will be Hampton, VA at Bluewater Yachts to have a few things looked at on Southern Style.  They should be on board Thursday September 12th.  We should have a better idea of what they might need to do and how long it will take by Friday.  Cross your fingers for a quick and simple yard visit (they never are so I am not holding my breath).
