TIDEWATER: Havre de Grace, Maryland

Havre de Grace, Maryland: The town was “pre-season” and we had a nice little lunch at one of the local eateries and then proceeded to drive around town. Some of this is documented n my Tidewater Book but I always think that I can do it again better which is why I take longer than anyone to finish anything. Anyway…here’s a spread from the book on Havre de Grace and a few pictures from yesterday’s outing.

The Osprey are back and are feeling comfortable. The Washington Post ran an article on their migratory habits. These birds are well-traveled and eerily precise in their sense of time. And they have become so comfortable in their environment that they are sitting on an a fire alarm in New Jersey

The C&O Canal at 30th Street. The Canal was a project dreamed up by George Washington and he saw it as the Nation’s Gateway to the West. It stretches up to Cumberland, Maryland and I have done the trip by bicycle (The Washington Post) and by car (National Geographic Traveler). Ironically, by time the Canal was finished, the majority of the cargo carried was coal for the train which ran parallel to it and eventually put it out of business.

TIDEWATER:  Fall Sailing on the Chesapeake

It’s nearing the end of the boating season (at least for us!). We started the day off with rain and decided to simply stop by the Marina for lunch and take a stroll but all of sudden, serendipity.

“Witchcraft”, a 1902 wooden sailing vessel berthed for the night at Herrington Harbour Marina. It’s a work of art and history. There is a video on the yacht’s website which shows you how little room you get in a 52 foot wooden yacht! The wooden rocking chair on the stern is just the perfect touch!
