Oct. 3 - Leave on a sunny windless day for St. Michaels passing under the William P. Lane Bridge over the Chesapeake after the fog starts to roll in a bit. Plan to proceed around the south end of Tilghman Island into the Choptank River and then Broad Creek into San Domingo Creek, rather than by way of Eastern Bay, which takes you into St. Michaels proper. We don’t quite get “up the creek” in daylight. The water is quite shallow and the creeks quite narrow, so we anchor in the open Choptank River while there’s still a little daylight, and the River is like a lake. Not a ripple to be seen.
Oct. 4 - We motor into San Domingo Creek, anchor in 10 feet of water and dinghy into St. Michaels. Kind of touristy and nothing special in our collective view. It’s hot as hell. We have a nice lunch and dinghy back to the boat.
Oct. 5 - Hang out in the Creek. Take a dighy ride in the morning and haul out Kryss’ piano in the afternoon, but there isn’t much breeze and it’s hot below.
