| Our slip was directly in front of the blue boat. Parallel parking Samba is always interesting in tight quarters. |
| We fit |
We left Oxford at 8:00 and arrived in St. Michaels right around 12:00. After tying up, we headed into town to find a place to have lunch.
| The blues sisters |
| St. Michaels has lots and lots of shops and beautiful old homes |

We awoke to a beautiful sunrise and headed out at 6:30 in order to get Tom & Tina back to Annapolis where Joe would pick them up and take them to the airport for their return trip home.
| We said goodbye to the skipjack & lighthouse on the way out of the harbor |
