I wore four layers of clothing to stay warm and I managed to stay on the flybridge with Jonny for the duration. We’ve been wanting to cruise the Sassafras to Georgetown and we were given a gift certificate for two nights at the Sassafras Harbor Marina so this was the perfect time to take advantage of it.
We went for a walk with Archie to explore the somewhat pastoral surroundings.
Afterwards, Jonny washed down Zendo to maintain its pristine condition after the big detailing job. That evening we ate onboard - we’re trying to use up our food and we ate the cabbage and sausage casserole that was in the freezer.
We wrapped up the evening nice and early and the next day we planned to return to Delaware City.
Once we turned onto the Sassafras River, it became less breezy and we were able to enjoy this very beautiful river. The Chesapeake Guide Book called it one of the prettiest rivers on the bay and we definitely agree.
We arrived by 2:10 and tied up to the T-dock. There were several marinas nearby but this one appeared to have the most boats in it, by far. We had the impression that Georgetown itself was easily accessible and very much worth visiting, but if there was a center of town it was nowhere near where we were. The marina itself was very well maintained with a big ship’s store and nice facilities.

The next day, Greg, the MTOA operations director for the Chesapeake, came by to pick up the several boxes of Rendezvous materials that we were storing. He came aboard with Glen, another MTOA member who keeps his boat at Sassafras Harbor Marina and we had fun chatting with both of them.
They had recommended the early bird special at a local restaurant called the The Granary. So I made reservations and we headed over there with Archie for an early dinner. We were surprised at how busy the restaurant was. Instead of taking advantage of the early bird special we chose an array of delicious sounding items including oyster stew, an appetizer that included three types of roasted oysters, the swordfish special with a crab cake added on and a delicious pork roast special. That, along with a half price bottle of wine and blueberry pie a la mode, caused us to have a very filling dinner experience.
