We couldn't believe our luck when we found this quiet anchorage with no other boat in sight - it is Mill Creek #4. The pool in the distance was the home of three Great Blue Herons. We enjoyed watching them all evening along with some other creatures...
Across the channel
We got up early to make our way up to Solomon's Island, MD. After we were well underway, I went downstairs to shower up and couldn't find Amos anywhere. I opened all closets, cupboards, even the engine room compartment. I was distraught as a went up to the flybridge to get Jeff. I took over the helm as he did a search of his own - with no luck.
We turned the boat around and headed back to the anchorage hoping that somehow, someway he would be there. In route we searched the water with binoculars thinking that every black & white crab pot was Amos... Once back at the anchorage, he was no where to be found. We were both heartbroken when we decided that the only thing we could do was resume the trip and that perhaps someone would find him and scan him for his microchip.
When Jeff got back up to the flybridge, Amos was sitting there in the Captains seat - waiting for the journey to begin again... We have since found his hiding place beneath the dinghy... What a harrowing experience.
We went by this point three times in search of Amos - a good reminder to never give up hope...
Next, we were back into the Chesapeake to cross the Potomac in route to Solomons Island.
another gusty day with lots of sea spray....
