4/28/16                         Carolina Beach
 
We spent our first night on a mooring ball



 
4/29/16                                    Morehead City, NC.

On our second day of travels we went Ocean bound for our 86 mile trip. It was a very cloudy and misty day and we wound up going through some Navy maneuvers. It was really cool! Ken was contacted by two Aircraft Carriers to determine our intentions and to warn us we needed to maintain a 2 mile distance from them. We were only about 1 ½ miles away when they contacted us. There was also an amphibious assault ship with a helicopter and a landing vessel. Both of which buzzed by us to check us out.

We spent the night at Coinjock Marina.

 5/3/16                          Chesapeake, VA

 We spent the night at the Top Rack Marina and had another spectacular meal at the Amber Lantern Restaurant, which meant our dockage was free.

5/4/16- 5/5/16              Kilmarnock, VA

We stayed at the Chesapeake Boat Basin. They had a loner car and we were able to do some shopping.

5/9/16 – 5/10/16          Oxford, MD

Our next stop was Brewer Oxford Marina. This was a very historic and sleepy little town with it’s own little car ferry.




5/11/16                        Bay Bridge Marina

We stopped here to check out Hemingway’s Restaurant. It was very nice!
It was really a good thing we were stopping for the night, since the weather was getting very foggy.



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
5/12/16 -                      Havre De Grace, MD

We pulled into Log Pond Marina in Havre de Grace. This is a very neat little town that is building up its waterfront appeal. There are lots of restaurants and a fair number of shops.





 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We will be staying here until our new grandchild arrives. She is due to make her appearance on June 19th.  We have already been to a wonderful cook-out at my son’s with the rest of our family which we have really missed. We look forward to hearing from and meeting up with our friends while we are here.

 
The next post will probably not be until mid July.
