Day 217 – 5/8/24

Starting location: Moored at DiMillo’s Marina, Oxford, MD.

Weather: 65 am, 86 pm, sunny

Ending location: Tied up to free wall downtown Cambridge, MD

Statute miles: 12

General summary: Motored East on the Choptank River and hoped to anchor in LaTrappe Creek behind a sandy spit, but there were no trespassing signs everywhere on land, so went to the town of Cambridge instead. There is a concrete wall there where you can tie up for free for up to 72 hours. Walked around town – great small grocery store, bakery with tasty treats, lots of cafes with al fresco dining. This area is close to Harriet Tubman’s birthplace and where a large part of the Underground Railroad took place. Unfortunately, the museum was closed and the recently developed National Park was more than 8 miles away.
