We were very glad to be at Walt and Mary's dock and home "Safe at Anchor Lodge"
OK,  bear with me.  I have spent hours trying to get these pictures in order. Please take them as they come.  The Reedville Fisherman's Museum is across the street from Walt and Mary.  Reedville is the home of the Manhaden Fishing Fleet on the Chesapeake Bay and this is the museum explaining its history.
This is the buy boat. the ELVA C.  It met the oyster boats and brought back the Oysters to market.
The Claud W. Somers is one of the few remaining skip-jacks on the Bay.  She and the Elva C are on the National Historic Registry. The skip-sack sailed to the oyster beds and remained on the bay.  The buy boats met them to take the oysters to market.
The small boat is a replica of a push boat built at the museum.  The push boats would position the skip-jacks in to place.

The big plus is she is a gourmet cook


Alyse and Nathan, can you guess the name of this boat?


Entering Urbana, Brad can you make the bird call like you used too?

This puppy caught my eye, never let go of the bone
Second house for her friends, he cares for the property and she the kennel

Tides Lodge Marina in Carter Creek is deserted except for the sailing school

The white poles mark the oyster beds and they are all over Carter Creek



This home was one we saw from anchor.  It faces the river on the other side.  How many volley balls do you think they lose?  See the net to the right.

Note the solar panels

Lawn ornament, the prop spins in the wind

Beautiful schooner in the anchorage

  1. We love 'traveling with you' through your pictures and accounts. I especially enjoyed the oyster boats at the museum. Keep 'em coming! Danny & Irene

  2. It looks like you two are having a wonderful trip. What an adventure! Ours is coming up...we leave in mid-August for Europe and we will be there for 10 months. First the English Border country for 2 months, then Germany to spend the Holidays with Sierra, Johannes and his family, then back to the U.K. for more hiking and the Turner exhibit in Edinburo in January. After that we are back on the Continent and off exploring Eastern Europe for awhile: southern Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovenia. We have a small villa in Tuscany rented for April and May, and the 1st week of June we have been invited to stay with some local friends who are renting a villa in Provence near Arles. Then we are home.
