Oxford

We decided to leave Saturday morning and head back out near the mouth of the Choptank River and up the Trent Avon River to Oxford. 

This is the entrance into the creek that Oxford sits on.







There is only room enough for 2 boats to anchor just outside the channel downtown but the first boat in anchored right in the middle so we had no room. Instead we went back out into the river and anchored on the other side.

After a peaceful night we headed into town the next morning. Again lots of old houses. One place caught our eye was the Cutts & Chase Boat company. Lots of old wooden boats and other things.

We also saw the oldest family owned and operated 2 car ferry in the nation. Lots of bikers and hikers use it to cross the river and you are just 4 miles from St. Michaels.

The weather was supposed to turn bad Monday so we decided to head back to Solomons on Sunday. It was a beautiful trip with 10 kt. winds and almost calm water. This was our last trip for this year. We haul the boat out for winter storage on the 11th. and depart the 16th down the Blue Ridge Parkway to Chattanooga and then to Joe Wheeler Park in northwest Alabama for the Great Loop Associations Fall Rendezvous.
