Crisfield, MD June 2010

We set sail for Crisfield on Sunday, June 6.  We picked up a friend, Larry, that wanted to go for a boat ride in Reedville and we are so glad he joined us!  It sure is nice to have another hand on deck and we're sure having fun.  We had a great sail over to Crisfield on a sunny, windy day.  We anchored in the Crisfield Harbor and watched a thunderstorm pass over just before sunset. 

The Magnolia blossom was a gift from our friend on "Mundy Point", our part-time neighbor at the dock in Reedville. It sure brightened up our companionway and gave a nice aroma too.  You can see Larry returning to the cockpit after freeing a line on deck as we make our way across Chesapeake Bay.


We stayed at anchor in Crisfield until Wednesday morning, June 9.  On Tuesday, we took a trip over to Tangier Island on the ferry.  Tangier Island is a quiet fishing community of 500 people.  There is a small airport on the island and several ferry boats.  Most of the vehicles on the island are golf carts - other than that, you'd better have a boat.  Can you see that land is at a premium here?  You can see the channel entering Tangier Island and  a typical yard.

Can you see the road sign?  "Buckle up Virginia, It's the Law!"  In a GOLF CART??

Here's the crew of Alexandra on our way over to Tangier Island. Hi Everyone!
