Rock Hall, MD

The plan for the day on Sunday, September 29 was to cruise across the Chesapeake Bay to Rock Hall on the Eastern Shore.  Originally, Lynn and Cathy were going to go to the big farmer’s market in Baltimore that several people had recommended.  But given that Cathy is as big a news junky as Lynn and Jonny, we all ended up watching some of the Sunday morning news shows unstead.  After all it’s not everyday that the president is facing an impeachment inquiry!

After lunch on board we headed out for our three hour cruise across the bay. As we left Baltimore we saw this typical juxtaposition of boats on the bay.  

It was a beautiful sunny day with little wind so our crossing was smooth and uneventful, just how we like it.  We arrived at Rock Hall Landing Marina where a very friendly dock master helped us to tie up. We’ve been seeing a lot of these traditional Chesapeake Bay deadrise boats that watermen use to catch crabs, fish and oysters.

We walked into the little town to explore.  However, because it was Sunday, most places were closed.

Lynn had learned that a local music venue was hosting a late afternoon jazz concert.  We happened to walk by it during intermission and walked in to check it out. We were somewhat surprised to see the small crowd all looking older than us. It was a very informal setting but no one invited us in so we just moved on.

We returned to Zendo for cocktails before heading out to dinner at Waterman’s Restaurant, the best in town and the only one open!  We had yet another seafood dinner on their porch with a beautiful sunset in the background.
