Have a great sail down the coast. More bottle nose dolphins. Lovely to see how fat and glossy they look. Also see another leaping shark?!
The entrance to Ocean City is billed as pretty hairy and it doesn’t disappoint! We follow a local fisherman in and only just have enough power to buck the 5knt ebbing tide. The waves lump up over the bar and the fishing boats bounces and bobs through the troughs and peaks. I am reminded of the footage from the Greymouth bar but we soldier on and finally break free of the entrance rips. After all that excitement we opt to go into the Sunset Marina rather than risk a wind over tide situation in the anchorage. Another $120 night! There are only three yachts in here... sport fishing boat paradise.... ice machines, BBQs, your own fuel pump, water (and water softeners) and a shaded lounging area without even leaving your dock! These powerboaters know how to live!
On shore we find the Harbourside Bar and Grill (Voted best bar restaurant in Maryland) and have one of the best meals we have eaten... the Cajun spiced Mahimahi was amazing and plenty of good craft beer to wash it down.
