Home Sweet Home


Rhapsody now has a new home.

I got up and left the house around 7:30 this morning. Just in time for rush hour traffic. I knew that but didn't want to wait half the day for traffic to clear out. Still, it took a little more than an hour and a half.

I got to Deale, Maryland and talked with the owner of Rockhold Creek Marina, Jon. Jon showed me around and they had some space where I could put the boat/trailer.

I first backed it up into an open spot in the yard. Then they brought a small tractor around to put it in place. So, at the moment, this is Rhapsody's new home while I work on her and get her ready to go sailing again.

 On another good note, the replacement wheel studs came in today so I should be able to get those on the trailer during the next visit.

      Thanks Caleb, I'm very happy she's within reach now. Closer is always better.

    Is that Deale Island on the Eastern Shore Dan?

      No, not Deale Island. Deale, MD is on the Western Shore and this marina is next to Harrington Harbor North (Big marina/yard).

    Nice job...once you get her back in the water you will love sailing on the chesapeake. There are beautiful anchorages in just about any direction.

      Thanks. I'm looking forward to sailing again. It'll be nice just to be around boats and the water too.
