Welcome to Packetville

On Monday we left Still Pond and had an enjoyable downwind sail to Rock Hall, MD. We anchored in Swan Creek nearby in about 7 feet of water. This was to be two day stop but the weather forecast sounds icky for the next couple of days (winds 20-25 knots; with gusts to 40)and there is a town festival happening; so we made the decision to just stay and enjoy Rock Hall. Why Packetville? Because Gratitude Yacht Sales, a very large dealer for Island Packets is here. We have seen more Island Packets in one day than all the years we've sailed combined. Last night we went to Waterman's Crab House for dinner with five couples who have Island Packets. The crab cakes were delicious. We were introduced to the group by Craig and Debbie Roser - IP440 "Charmed". Had a great evening with new friends!
