Ospreys ready to fly from their nest, a wonderful
reminder of sailing in the Chesapeake. But also the r
idiculously hot
temperatures!
Nimue ready to be hauled out. No ‘hard’ hats
here and the guys just used poles to guide Nimue into the lifting
dock
Nimue’s dirty bottom, so the lads gave her a really
good power wash
Nimue in the travel lift being taken to her spot in
the yard, just a few boats away from Scott Free
Anne polishing the topsides away from the
sun! The bald patches show the areas with no antifoul, so not much sanding
to do here!
Scott Free was also in Herrington North, just a few boats away from
Nimue, so we were able to take it in turns for well-earned coffee breaks.
Chris and I managed to escape from cleaning duties at the week-end and took
advantage of the free Trolley Bus from the marina. It took 3 changes and
an hour and a half to the nearest supermarket and some retail therapy, but we
enjoyed the ride and the scenery en-route. Mind you it poured with rain as
we lugged our shopping bags back on for the return journey.
One of the Trolley buses, we caught from the
Marina. Unfortunately, they only ran Friday to Sunday from end of May
(Memorial Day) to the end of August (Labour Day)
During our stay in Herrrington, we got to know a few of the locals and on
one occasion we were invited to a free ‘all you can eat BBQ by the poolside’ by
Anita & Chris (pictured in the foreground in both pictures). The fare
was excellent (inc. drinks), but the prawns with Old Bay seasoning were
especially delicious.
