    Here's a link to the Taylor's Island Wikipedia page.

    As an aside, much of the Eastern Shore is elevation challenged, and the Chesapeake Bay, being a long estuary, can have some interesting tidal effects when the wind blows just right. It hasn't happened this trip, but we have made landfall where it's actually drier to stay on the boat. Some towns have communal "rust trucks" for driving when the roads are under water. As we travel year to year, we see the coastline retreating and the trees dying off from saltwater intrusion. Change is a constant on the Chesapeake.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    After Downrigging we headed south again to Wye Island for some hiking and to hide from heavy winds in Dividing Creek.

    Once the weather let up we were off to Grace Creek off of the Choptank. At Grace Creek, we stopped at P. T. Hambleton's, a traditional oyster dock where Suzanne dinghied in and procured a bucket of oysters.

    Once the oysters were aboard, we proceeded to San Domingo Creek where we found some cruising friends anchored. We shared our oysters and a sunset, and the next morning headed in to Carpenter Street for another breakfast of cream chipped beef.

    We then crossed the Chesapeake to the Rhode River for more hiking at SERC.

    Part of the facility is the Java Plantation, which may or may not have been bought with prize money from the defeat of HMS Java.

    From there it was two more days sailing north and we were back in our home slip.
