Continued on to Oxford, MD to meet up with John and Barb Mills on “Barbara E”. Tried to hug the eastern shore to dampen the waves on the nose. Weather was similar to yesterday with 4-5 foot waves on the bow. Two hours into the trip, Pam noticed that the dingy had come loose from one of the davits and was dangling at a precarious angle and getting beat up by the seas. Finally got the dinghy off the other davit and continued onward towing it behind us. Turns out that one of the eyebolts on the davit arm had sheared off (it’s always something).
We finally pulled into Oxford after a seven hour day and rafted up with “Barbara E” in Trippe Creek off the Tred Avon River. Thankfully, they had prepared dinner as we were in no condition to cook anything! “Compass Rose” can handle more than John and Pam!
Photo: view out the window. Note the BCYC burgee barely hanging on. Believe me, the photo does not do justice to the ‘hobby horse’ ride we had.
