Friends from Chicago, Geoff and Deb Peters, met us at the boat this morning as we were saying goodbye to our friend John Schmuck. We cruised across the Chesapeake Bay, past "Bloody Point Light" to the town of St. Michaels, MD. It's a cute and quaint touristy harbor town.

The Crab Claw restaurant at St. Michaels has a nice dock where you can dock free if you eat lunch there, which we did (thanks Geoff!) and then you can leave your boat there to go see the town.

The town does have touristy shops, but they seemed to be better quality than other harbor towns like this. The girls found knick-knacks they liked and also bought yarn and knitting patterns.

After seeing St. Michaels, we went out to an anchorage Marshall Gafne told us about. It's a very nice anchorage good protection from wind and waves and a beach where we could land the dinghy to take Daisy for a walk.

The beach had numerous horseshoe crab shells laying around, like the one Geoff is holding up. Daisy had to stop and sniff each one. Geoff threw it back in the water and Daisy almost went swimming after it, so we threw a stick for her instead. I also got a snail shell to add to Kathy's collection.

We'll be leaving the anchorage tomorrow to go to Baltimore for a couple days before leaving the Chesapeake.
