Eastern Shore



We are really enjoying Maryland’s eastern shore. This is very rural with quiet anchorages. The shoreline is tree lined, with areas of bluffs and others of grassy marsh leading up to water’s edge and supporting much wildlife. Just beyond the shoreline it opens into farms fields. Last evening we passed close by an osprey perched on a pole while returning to Ariel. We are now anchored in Swan Creek near Rock Hall. This is appropriately named as we passed a swan on entering the creek.

One of the hardest adjustments for us is getting accustomed to the shallow depths here on the bay. At times we only have 2 – 4 feet under the keel. This is very unsettling as the margin for error is very slim.
