<\/a><\/p>\nThis porch is nicely color coordinated too.\u00a0 Brenda particularly liked this wreath. \u00a0She’s all about details. It’s Wednesday and we are enjoying 0ur visit to St Michaels MD. \u00a0 It’s nice to be able to spend more than a day exploring an area and being here for three days is a real treat. \u00a0Yesterday morning Brenda and I went for a walk through one of the historic areas and enjoyed taking […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","_s2mail":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sailpandora.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sailpandora.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sailpandora.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sailpandora.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sailpandora.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=744"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.sailpandora.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/744\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11444,"href":"https:\/\/www.sailpandora.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/744\/revisions\/11444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sailpandora.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sailpandora.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sailpandora.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/a>I liked the use of the flower border near the driveway. \u00a0Not a big front porch but a nice looking home.
\n<\/a>This might be our favorite home in the area. \u00a0 We have taken photos of it in the past. \u00a0Love those columns.\u00a0<\/a>This While we were walking down near the waterfront, we spied this lovely launch based on a Crosby hull, a style that is often used as a yacht club launch in a simpler configuration.<\/a>What beautiful varnish work. \u00a0You can easily imagine having a small cocktail party on this table aft. \u00a0Note the beautiful hand water pump. \u00a0 It looks like the owner keeps the brass polished too.\u00a0<\/a>As we were headed through Kent Narrows on our way to St Michaels, the Globo Surf<\/a> used a short cut that goes under the bay bridge, we were, as always, struck with how close the mast head comes to the bottom of the bridge. \u00a0All bridges on the ICW are supposed to be built to a minimum 65′ clearance. \u00a0This one is 67′ I am told but it really looked close to me. \u00a0Yikes!!! \u00a0So, how close is close? \u00a0Our mast is 63′ and with gear on top, we clear most bridges with less than two feet to spare. \u00a0 Not a lot of margin of error. \u00a0<\/a>As we approached the bridge at high tide, and one that was a bit higher than usual, we decided to stop and have lunch at a local eatery and wait for the tide to shift and get a bit lower. \u00a0 We enjoyed lunch overlooking a busy waterway in Kent Narrows.\u00a0<\/a>Unlike up north, where dock space is more at a premium, there are plenty of spots where you can pull up and get free dockage while you eat lunch. \u00a0In this case, we docked for several hours while the tide went down a bit. \u00a0 I always like shots of Pandora along side on a sunny day.\u00a0<\/a>There was also a commercial packer for crabs and oysters. \u00a0I was able to get into the oyster sorting room. \u00a0That’s a lot of oysters. \u00a0Nice guys too. <\/a>I expect that these could end up most anywhere, perhaps in an eatery near you. <\/a>Anchored in a little harbor in St Michaels, we spied this kayak man\/dog combo. I can almost hear the dog saying “When will we be there, when will we be there. \u00a0Look a duck, a duck. \u00a0I love this!!!”<\/a>Oh yea, how about a still life with flowers, wine and binoculars? <\/a>Today we will continue to explore and I expect that Brenda will make another visit to the local yarn store. \u00a0Thursday we head over near Annapolis for the SSCA gam. \u00a0 Thursday night kicks the three day event off with a dink raft-up cocktail party. \u00a0It will be great fun and we are really looking forward to the weekend event. \u00a0After that, off to the boat show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
