| Arriving at St. Mary's Yachting Center |
Our three boats stayed tied to their docks while we delayed our departure twice due to wind and rough seas. I’m not sure what logic we used or didn’t use, but we decided to depart our safe harbor and scoot across the bay to St. Mary’s River. The first half hour was hell on water before it settled down to 2 to 3 footers! That ride lasted for another 2 ½ hours until we entered the St. Mary’s River when the seas flatten out and the world became calm and serene once again. By the time we were tied up at our dock we had been out four hours and traveled 36 miles. Our location is just out of the Potomac River off the St. Mary’s River on Carthegena Creek!

This is a very nice marina that is not on the beaten path to D.C.! There is a nice restaurant, bar and swimming pool here for our use. The scenery is beautiful with flat water for as far as we can see.
Tomorrow we will cross the river for a quick visit to the city of St. Marys City Washington D.C.
