Saturday, September 11, 2010 – north of Grove Point at Sassafras River

 
 
 
The morning was a relaxing one. We did a little shopping at the outdoor store next to the dock. Gale picked up some fishing tackle, some crab fishing items and a fleece jacket. Maureen found some soft wool socks she thought would be nice to wear around the boat on the cooler days. A little later, Todd brought his laptop over and showed us the “Active Captain” web site. It was ironic that our friends on Cloverleaf had just mentioned this web site to us in an email the day before.

At 11:45 am we headed out into a beautiful Saturday. Shortly after 1 pm, we were at Tolchester once again and decided to stop in for a drink at the marina’s tiki bar to commemorate our previous journey. After a little less than an hour, we were on our way once again. The tide was against us all afternoon, but at least the water was calm – that is, except for some big boat wakes! We ended up anchoring just north of Grove Point off the Sassafras River in about 3 feet of water. It wasn’t a designated anchorage from any cruising guidebook, but it worked for us and got us out of the high traffic area. We witnessed another great sunset and rested well during the night.
