September 24, 2013 St Mary's River to Oxford, MD Marina

We stayed around Horseshoe Bend for a second night...took the dinghy for a ride to 'stretch our legs'.  Stopped by some neighboring, anchored boats for a brief 'hello'. 




The college kids were out sailing today...



 

Not the best picture, but believe it or not, we pulled the anchor up in the dark around 5:30 am and headed out...thank goodness for GPS...and we were on our way to Oxford, MD.

The sunrise is starting to peek through.

 

 


 we had our jackets on for sure, it was just easier to see from the fly bridge....

 

Headed back out onto the Bay

Nice smooth water... but it didn't last for long...

 

We still have the red compass light on...

 

 

Sun is behind the small grove of trees....


 

 

Water sparkling like a girl's best friend (diamonds..)


Bay area lighthouses...


 

We're in for a 'roller ride' today...4 - 5 foot waves...with 15 to 25 knot winds most of the morning and early afternoon.....

 

Choppy waters and whitecaps...
 
 

The chop eventually mellowed as we came into the Choptank River, and we got safely into Campbell's Bachelor Point Marina in Oxford under sunny sky and calm winds and current. 

The marina is a nice one!

They have courtesy bicycles and we'll be off tomorrow to explore the town!
