Exploring the bay

We had a great time in Havre de Grace and ended up heading up the Sassafras River for some poking about. It was lovely and we took a mooring at Georgetown Yacht Basin where we ordered parts and had the finicky fridge looked at by a technician. He added freon but since then it hasn't seemed to have totally fixed the problems with half the freezer going solid into a block of ice and running all the time. Scott was thrilled to get the water pump for the engine and fixed the blower and the pump. We met another cruising family, on Folie a Deux. The marina was lovely and had kayaks, paddleboats and a pool for guests. The kids took the kayaks up the river with the two moms acting as a chase boat. We spent some time in the pool. We were there for three nights as they had a buy two nights, get the third free. We anchored last night with Folie a Deux at Still Pond but a blow came through with sheet lightening putting an end to our twilight party.

Today we might be heading to Worton Creek as our new alternator seems not be charging all of a sudden. This could be a big problem if we can't start the engine. We'll have to see what transpires.

Hi Lisa, Scott, Aidan and Elizabeth
This will make a great book Lisa!
Whenever I see the sailboats here in Port Dover we think of you.
the McRaes

Thanks Gale - so great to hear from home.

There are so many wonderful boats here to look at - one of the boats we saw in Georgetown looked liked The Black Pearl.

Great area here for sailors.
