Images from St. Michaels 8.10.2011

Eileen and I were able to get away for a 4-day sail, just the two of us. We set sail early Wednesday morning in strong, steady winds and sailed 26.6 NM and set a new speed record for Domingoman at 8.3 knots over ground (7.9 knots over water)! Winds were 15-20 knots, gusting to 23 knots out of the NW and we were sailing South and then East so we had following seas for a good portion of the trip.






The harbor entrance in St. Michaels, MD







Shiloh keeping watch!


Eastern Shore Brewery...a must on a hot day! Shiloh was welcome inside too!







St. Michaels is so quaint, we are definitely going back!







We went inside this Episcopal Church and it was a real blessing for us.






This is inside the lighthouse that you saw in the first picture. It is actually 3 stories and very very cool inside! It is part of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum which we toured. It is the best Maritime Museum I have ever seen!







This is the view of our marina (Bob Pascal's St. Michaels Harbor Inn and Spa) across the harbor from the lighthouse. Before we set out for the second leg of our trip, we borrowed a tandem bicycle from the marina and rode through town. No pics to prove it but we really did!
