The wind blew, and the rain poured, and we were in a sweet anchorage. The only down-side was washing all the mud off the buried anchor and chain. <g> It was worth it!
This morning we took advantage of the cloudy, cooler weather to do a couple hours of routine maintenance. With batteries topped off, and the oil and filters changed in the main engine, and in the generator, we were underway in late morning.
We went out the Chester River and continued our journey north on the Chesapeake Bay.
We were passed by this 656' ship.
Along the coasts, cliffs appeared.
We pulled into the Sassafras River, and cruised up a couple of miles, hoping to get into Turner Creek. The current was behind us, running into the creek, so we returned to the cove in the bend of the Sassafras to anchor.
While the pork chops were grilling on the stern, with squash, potato wedges, and onions, we sat on the bow. I saw an eagle dive for a fish, and grabbed the binoculars and then the camera. We were anchored off eagle beach!
I might not have noticed the eagles on the beach had others kept flying in.
Ellen said she was tired of osprey photos. Here are some eagles!
