Here we are enjoying a wonderful festival at St. Michael's Island at 38°47.133'N 076°13.253'W
We had a visit from Kathryn, my sister and her boyfriend, John. They stayed Friday night on the boat with us. Caroline taught them how to play "spoons". Saturday, we saw a Pumpkin carving contest, ate at a gourmet Pizza and Wine bar, shopped in lots of cool little stores, and visited the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. St. Michael's is steeped in a rich history. It is known as the town that tricked the British in the War of 1812 and was first established as a shipbuilding community.
Sunday was race day here on the Island. Coconut entered in the Dachshund Dash taking first place in her preliminary heat. In the final round she clearly outpaced the field but entered the rabbit hole only after sitting by and watching two others go in first and second. Still, we were awfully proud of our little Coconut! She even brought her own cheering section from another boat here in the harbour. After the races, it was clear she had won the hearts of more fans as she walked down the street - many calling her by name!
