St Michaels, Maryland

We left Solomons by 9AM and made our way easily to St Michaels by 1PM. We took a chance to anchor right off the Maritime Museum which can be very crowded.....but.....there was only 1 sailboat anchored so we went in and dropped the hook in 5.5' of water. We had a quiet and calm anchorage for the weekend.

The Perry Cabin Resort was our background. We even had a strong free wifi signal!

It turned out to be their Wine Fest weekend Saturday and Sunday and there were plenty of boats coming in but they went into docks. We walked the short main street, had breakfast in C Street Bar and Grill, poked through some lovely stores, and had a nice lunch at the Crab House on the docks. The Chesapeake Maritime Museum was second on our list. It was a wonderful display of history, artifacts, boats, and demonstrations.
