Pretty but Private
Sunday 18th October 2020
After moving the past several days we decided to take a break, stay put and have a lazy day. We awoke to a foggy morning just as the sun was starting to break through. It felt cold so we lounged around in the cabin wrapped in our blankets, drinking coffee and reading our books. After a leisurely breakfast we re-inflated and launched the dinghy and took a tour around the area. It’s very pretty round here but essentially everywhere is privately owned so there’s nowhere to go ashore. We pulled up to a local yacht club and were immediately met by the dock-master who politely declined our request to tie up and come ashore for a brief walk around. He cited Covid-19 concerns as the reason but we had the distinct impression that they never let riff-raff like ourselves land at their private club. Nonetheless we enjoyed our dinghy trip and it felt good to be out. We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out on the boat and it was warm enough to eat Sunday lunch out in the cockpit. This evening we watched the Patriots game against the Broncos on NFL Game Pass, which didn’t go so well. They really looked pretty lame. I know they have had a couple of tough weeks with players out with Covid-19 and games and practices cancelled, but if they can’t get their offense going in some way then it’s going to be a painful season. Tomorrow we are going to move on to Annapolis and try and get a mooring in the harbor.
