Mill Creek - Anchorage
Today was the end of this cruising season’s adventure and
the beginning of our trek south to store the boat for the winter. Hard to
believe it's that time of year again, but we are ready to spend time with family
and land based friends. Our departure was delayed a few hours this morning by
fog. It's the first foggy day we've seen this season...maybe it was some kind of omen or Baltimore trying to tell us don’t go...stay just a little longer.
Staying another week would have been very easy, but our granddaughter is calling us home.
We'd planned to leave early, before anyone knew we were gone, but Mother Nature
had other plans. It was nice to have one more goodbye from our friends Pam and Donny
and Bill, the best dock master. We'll definitely return to Henderson's
next year.
The weather was dreary when we left, but it did improve. By
mid morning we had partly sunny skies, light winds and little boat traffic...a
perfect day to be on the Chesapeake Bay. The sights on the bay are getting very
familiar and it's easy for us to recognize exactly where we are. We're
anchored in Mill Creek near Solomons. In the same spot we've used twice before
and it's full of boats this time. I guess it truly is time for everyone to move
south, not that you could tell from tonight's temperature. It's going to be our
warmest night since we were home last July, but that is going to change soon…winter
is just around the corner.
