Independence Day at St. Marys Anchorage

​Current Location:  Horseshoe Bend Anchorage, St. Marys River, MD
Miles Traveled:  33
Weather:  Mostly sunny, light breeze, low-90s
Highlights: Had breakfast, then left marina around 9AM, headed for St. Marys.  Saw sting rays, schools of fish, a couple of dolphins, several ospreys, and beautiful scenery along the way.  Took the boat around Point No Point lighthouse for some good pictures, and also sailed past the lighthouse at Point Lookout.  Not much wind, but did get about an hour of pure sailing in before the wind died down completely.  Motor-sailed up the Potomoac and St. Marys Rivers, and dropped anchor around 2PM in front of the college.  Played bridge during the heat of the day, then late afternoon took the dinghy into the college docks and walked around historic St. Marys City.  Strolled through the cemetery, the Anglican Church, the Old State House, and down to the Dove (among other sites), then back to the boat around 6PM for steaks, corn-on-the cob, salad, rolls, and chocolate bits for desert.  Bridge until after 11, then off to bed.
