Little Choptank River

We
spent the next three days anchoring along the bay, traveling longer distances
than usual. Our 66 mile ride to Fords
Cove on the Annemessex River was sunny and calm. We saw many dolphins today.

From
there we went 62 miles to the Little Choptank River and experienced waves from
2 to 3 feet. Fortunately, it was calmer
by midday, although we did have a thunderstorm while we were anchored!

The
next day was sunny and we traveled 81 miles to the Elk River to anchor in front
of the small community of Hollywood Beach, where Bill spent all his summers. His parents built a summer home here when he was
four and sold it the year we were married.
We dinghied to shore and visited with some of the residents. We were delighted to find some that Bill
still knew!
