Well, I am happy to tell you that I have no outstanding warrants for my arrest in any system. I didn’t think I did, but when I was stopped for speeding (52 in a 45mph zone) the nice officer checked me out and decided to give me a warning and not a ticket.
That’s the top of my list for anoyances. Probably not Cliff’s:-) All our friends with boats will totally “get this.” On board Dot Calm after 10 days away, we discovered some problems with our water system. A leak maybe? The kayak had an amazing green growth on its bottom that resisted even a power washer that one of our boat neighbors brought over. Oh….and our planned hot dog cook-out was thwarted by a balky propane tank. (Grill pan to the rescue.) To top it off….the generator refused to engage for our trip to Tilghman’s Island. Sigh. “It’s a boat” is my only answer.
When we arrived at Knapp’s Narrows Marina and Inn, we learned that their two restaurants which we had heard great things about are closed Monday and Tuesday…..the two days that we will be here. On the other hand….our boat is moored about 50 feet from the restaurant’s outdoor bar space, so I think overall it is good thing.
Let’s move on to pleasures. Besides not having reveling bar customers next to our boat, we are extremely happy to be cruising on the Chesapeake again. Lovely. A calm, sunny day. An easy 2 hour-ish cruise. Little traffic and only an occasional confusing marker.
And a plus and a BIG pleasure, is that we have our grandson Jassa aboard with us.
Small pleasure….the restaurant across the bridge from Knapp’s Narrowss Marina had $1 glasses of wine (and ONLY $1 glasses of wine….nothing else.). Really. Merlot. Not bad. Not bad at all at $1:-)
And it’s a freshman pour on the wine!! So jealous as we contemplate $12/ glass here. And don’t let me forget to tell you about the $85 negroni. Very special gin. Keep the post coming you leadfoot 😛
I think our rookie waitperson probably made a mistake….or maybe their computer system had the pricing wrong. We asked, but the waiter insisted that every wine they had by the glass (and there were no bottles to be had) was priced at $1 per. Good for us!
