June 20-21, 2017, Oxford, Maryland

By noon the repairs to the generator were done and we were on our way to Oxford to see Chuck and Vicky again.  The three hour trip across the Bay was very smooth and pleasant.  We docked next to Patriot at the Oxford Yacht Agency, a small marina.  Chuck and Vicky helped with our lines and then, of course, it was docktail time.  We spent an enjoyable evening on the back deck.  First up Wednesday was fueling both boats from a fuel truck that comes to the marina once a week. We then went into Easton for a late breakfast, a tour around Oxford, and then a little later went for a good lunch at Capsize (the "i" is upside down in the name).  I got the breadmaker out in the afternoon to make bread for Vicky and Chuck.  Later I took time to walk around the city of Oxford.  The town dates back to 1683 as the first port of entry on the Eastern Shore.  The town has been called "picture perfect" and it is.  All the homes are large with beautiful grounds around them.  After a few stops at some of the stores, it was again time for docktails followed by a walk to the ice cream store.  All in all a very fun day.

Robert Morris Inn - one of the early wealthy patrons of the town

(built in 1710)

These are painted fence posts - you see them all over town

I just love these Maryland homes

(if you look closely, you'll see a little bunny in the yard)

Since Oxford is on a peninsula, most homes have a water view

Docktails - it's what we do best

We saw this little bunny on our walk to get ice cream. He didn't

even try to run away as we approached.

I think this is a two-story tiny house

End of a great day - ice cream!
