I can’t believe I was even thinking of leaving this place without seeing it. I’ve been ashore, met the legendary local boatbuilder, visited the very nice fisherman’s museum, http://www.rfmuseum.org/ and rowed down the creek for a soft shell crab sandwich.
I took the advice of my Oxford friend and told the museum staff of my disappointment and that I wrote for the famous SBO and they put me in touch with someone who has an extra ticket. Oysters tomorrow!
Because of all the clothes I’ve brought and my media presence, I’ve jokingly referred to myself as “The Paris Hilton of Cruising”. Looking at what’s around me today and thinking of the constant passage of beauty I am experiencing, I think the Hugh Hefner might me a better anology. Of course, I wouldn’t trade places with that fellow for a minute at this point. I’d have to wear pajamas all day and never leave the house.
Full report on the Oyster Roast tomorrow.

The view out the companionway:
(I wish my camera could capture the light on these trees. I need a ship’s photographer.)
Good thing I like this place. Looking at the weather forecasts, I might end up voting here.
