June 30, 2000 -- To The Eastern Shore

Today, we left Annapolis headed for the Corsica River. It would be a short 4 and a half hour trip. During this trip, we forgot to keep our log of weather, etc. The trip was easy and quite beautiful. The only place on the Eastern Shore we have been is St. Michael's, and that was several years ago on our last boat. It was a real eye opener to head into the Eastern Shore on the Chester River. The only down point on the trip was the fact that we experienced a problem with Tink. After we anchored, we checked his raycor, and changed the filter element. That seemed to take care of everything. Next, we dropped the dinghy and fixed the lights. As it turns out, a fuse had blown! Finally, Mike went up to the first spreader to put a new flag halyard on as the old line chafed through
