Cambridge MD with Harrison

 This morning started at 5:45 am with a good cup of coffee.  The seas were calm and the wind was light….right up until we started to leave the slip.  In order to get out of the marina, you pull our of the slip, bow first, hard right turn, another hard right turn with about only 10th of space on either side of the boat.  To make it more stressful, Old Lady Grumpy was out on her swim step giving us the evil eye. When we had pulled into the slip a few days ago, she had welcomed us with the same evil eye. The wind had kicked up and was pushing us around a little.  We had some snotty weather for a little while, but not bad and not long. Ashley did great, Grant always is fine and Mr. Harrison slept most of the way. After docking, we walked into town, a sleepy little town.  I’m afraid the Covid has not done them any favors.  While wandering around, we found a store that sold wholesale fresh lump crab, $50/#.  We decided to have chicken on the boat, ha.  Most of the day was spent making silly faces and noises for Harrison’s enjoyment (or our enjoyment).  He is starting to laugh which makes us laugh and act even more goofy, oh, the joys of having a little one around!  We went from Annapolis MD to Cambridge MD, 40 miles, 5.5 hours.

Ducks, ducks everywhere, taunting poor little Ellie.

Beautiful sunset.

This bloom was bigger than my outstretched hand, beautiful.

Harrison’s narwhal is named James Morrison.

Cute jammies.

Beautiful church.
  

Great architecture for the bank.

More of those ginormous flowers.

Ellie hiding from Harrison.  She is very afraid of him.


Welcome to the Tiki Bar.

Small blue crabs that were caught by the crabbing boat.  They were $250/bushel.

Local market, we bought some of that corn.  It might be the best corn on the cob I’ve ever eaten!!!!

People in Maryland are proud of their crabs.

Is this Barney from our stay in New Orleans?

The crocus were blooming, what the heck, in September????

Wrapping it up

 Boss Bobby was absent again today.  He volunteered to come install our hydraulic hoses tomorrow, Saturday, his day off.  Management said no overtime,  doggone again.  David was out on the dock and Boss Bobby came up to him, put both his hands on David’s shoulders and said, “I may have good news for you!”  Boss Bobby called management and explained without anybody else here to bug him, he could come and get the hoses “knocked out”.  Music to my ears!!  He said he’d be here around 9am, I said, “I’ll have lemon bars ready for you”.   Don’t know if he can get all the hoses installed, but we’ll keep our fingers crossed!  We both did more cleaning today.  I got a razor blade and scraped off some dried varnish drips that a previous, sloppy painter had smeared all over the boat when he was applying varnish to the teak rails.  I moved inside and scraped the edges and corners of the floors so get them really clean.  I applied a cle...

Crabbing

 The day started out nicely.  Grant FaceTimed us, he and Harrison were hanging out at home. Grant got him to smile sooo big several times we even got to watch Daddy do Harrison’s tongue exercises  (tongue movement so everything heals correctly). The smiles were real and intentional, not just hot air came out of my butt kind of smiles!!🤪 It was so great to see them both!  I got the great idea to try my hand at crabbing, we took a chicken thigh and tied it with string to the crab trap, I thought it was pretty secure but I was wrong.  The first time we pulled the trap up, a big crab make a fast escape, the next pull we had a baby crab, the third pull we found the chicken thigh completely gone and no crab,  and one of the lines that pulls up the sides to trap the crabs inside had been chewed off. We pulled it up may more times but still no crab. But I am not giving up!  We had a squall come through the marina, we heard noise, it was lots of rain, looked u...

Yes, Sir

 We made it to Palmetto, FL.  The winds were still blowing too much, the water was still   Coast Guard departure    Jake and Harrison playing on the Ipad    We had a stowaway,  we turned him loose when we got close to shore, I didn't know how far they can fly so better safe than sorry   Our soldiers at work!!   Jake will be 14 in a few months   Harrison is 11 months rough but what a gorgeous shade of teal blue!  We only saw a few dolphin but none came to play along side of the boat.  I used the patch again and Ellie had her L-Theanine so we both tolerated the rocking' and rollin' better.  When we only had 3 hours left to go to reach the marina, we were hailed by the Coast Guard.  Oh, crimany, what did we do or not do???  We were asked to put the boat in neutral, did we have any weapons on board and may they come aboard for a safety check?  We did as asked, they pulled up beside us and came aboard. ...
