Wye River

Thursday morning was very leisurely with a late breakfast and a noon departure from St. Michaels. We motored very slowly the eight or ten miles up the East Wye River on the Eastern shore of Maryland. Beautiful homes with lawns that run down to river.
We continued past our anchorage spot, continuing up the river until we reached almost the end and found a home with black sheep grazing in the front lawn. That’s the picture and those are black sheep. Stopping there and dropping a “lunch hook” anchor, we had lunch, before returning down river and into a little creek for our anchorage.

That afternoon, we launched the dinghy and later used it to ferry ourselves over to the lawn party and dinner at Rick and Linda Javlin’s home right on the river. Great setting with their pool in the front yard, his duck blind by the river and stories of bagging twenty three deer last winter. ( They have a surplus of deer on the Eastern shore). The catered meal was supurb, featuring Chesapeake crab cakes. We found that our dinghy can really fly going back to our anchored boat, especially with a 25 hp motor and few glasses of wine. Another great day.
