After Cambridge

We left Cambridge, Md on Friday October 8th and headed for St. Michaels which is further north. We came out the Choptank river and went north and entered Eastern Bay and then the Miles river. It was about a 42 mile run. I had been to St. Michaels by boat about 15 years ago. Wow, what a change. It has really built up. Most of the places to anchor were either taken over by marinas or had a bunch of other boats in them. We ended up taking a slip at a marina. I think the slips were made out of gold. At least you would think so by the cost. We only stayed one night and really didn't go see anything.

We had planned on St. Michaels being our most northerly port before heading back south. We left Saturday morning and went 48 miles all the way back to Solomon's, Md. We anchored up in St. John's creek for the night. We got up early and went to refuel at Spring Cove marina before heading south to Mill Creek. The cruising guide lists eight Mill Creek's. It seems that you can't throw a stick without hitting either a Mill Creek, Broad Creek or Back Creek. Anyhoo, we were in the Mill Creek that is off Ingram Bay at the mouth of the Great Wicomico river. It is about 5-6 miles south of Reedville, Va. And, no, there was no smell from the fish processing plant.

We stayed two nights in Mill Creek. It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The first night there were about eight other boats anchored around us. The second night there was only one other boat and it was around the corner from us.





























We wanted to stay another night but some bad weather and high winds were approaching. We pulled up the anchor on Wednesday about 11 AM and headed for Broad Creek off the Rapahannock river and Deltaville, Va. On the way north we came into Deltaville but came in on the south side into Jackson Creek. We are at the Deltaville location of Zimmerman Marine. We need to get some engine maintenance items done since we are coming up on 600 hours. We liked the work that Chad does and figured this would be a good time to stop before heading way south. We will be here about a week.
