Another fictional American frigate is in the works. I have been favoring the Amazon class frigate mini as my favorite frigate mini, and thought I should have at least one Concorde style...

You're certainly welcome, Rob! Thanks for the rep!

Grace has been tucked in for her long Winter's nap. Now it's time for sailing little plastic ships on a table indoors.

After Downrigging we headed south again to Wye Island for some hiking and to hide from heavy winds in Dividing Creek.

Once the weather let up we were off to Grace Creek off of the Choptank. At...

I'm afraid my storytelling has fallen significantly behind. We arrived back home Tuesday afternoon.

A quick summary of our travels from Taylor's Island; the following morning we headed off to...

Here's a link to the Taylor's Island Wikipedia page.

As an aside, much of the Eastern Shore is elevation challenged, and the Chesapeake...

That's great! We plan some of our adventures based on if there's a washer and dryer at the end.:happy: In fact, Slaughter Creek marina was supposed to have a pair, but was having well issues.

The following morning we tied up at the Slaughter Creek marina to explore the island. A funny thing was that the marina owner informed us that he had a bunch of bicycles we were free to use, but he...

The town of Bivalve is really just a collection of houses on a road to somewhere else, but it's delightful. For some reason, they have a very nice marina plunked down in a park on the outskirts. In...

From Onancock, we headed north again to Bivalve, Maryland on the Nanticoke River.

We departed Pocomoke City before dawn. The town is several miles up a cypress swamp river from the Bay. I tried to capture the early morning beauty of the light in the trees with these pictures.

I was down below at one point and looked out the windward windows and thought about a picture, but it didn't happen. The problem with photographing crazy seas-states is that there's rarely anything...

Mill Creek is exceptional for providing protection from the wind. Following the unruly forecast, Suzanne and I set off expecting to take two days to get to Pocomoke City. An hour or so after...

We have sailed many places since my last post but I haven't been taking pictures.

We spent two days sitting out weather in Solomon's Island then had a delightful sail to St. Mary's City on the...

Here, sunset is coming on. That's the Pride of Baltimore i the distance. The sloop is just a diehard spectator keeping us company.

Here, Virginia tacks in front of us. Even at 2 knots,...

With sunset, we thought it too risky to leave all our nifty speed enhancing ropes in place. The cockpit sole was a tangle of spaghetti. Instead, we would just have to rely on our experience for...

A little lesson on social geography Rob; the Chesapeake Bay divides the western shore and Eastern Shore. Note the capitalization on Eastern Shore. It's inhabitants almost consider it a separate...

I am currently traveling in an internet challenged area and cannot upload much. I will return.

We followed every puff, trimming out and in and gaining inches on Radian. Every time we came up with something to move us faster, they followed suit. Finally we were able to crawl away from them...

Thursday morning we were up at 2 bells on the morning watch (5am). There was a mandatory captain's meeting at 6:30 followed by a dash to the start line 22 miles away! Start was at noon and Grace has...
