Day 324 – Cambridge, MD to Knapp’s Narrows Marina and Inn, Tilghman Island, MD - May 25, 2012

A short ride down the Choptank River took us from Cambridge to Knapp’s Narrows.  The Knapp’s Narrows Marina and Inn is where Greg and Kate from Grianan keep their boat when they are here in Chesapeake Bay.  When we decided that it would be a good idea to stay in one place for the Memorial Day weekend we chose to hang out here with Greg and Kate.

It was a bit hazy when we left Cambridge, but by the time we got to Knapp’s Narrows the sun was out and it was beautiful.  Knapp’s Narrows is a shortcut from the Choptank River to the Bay across the northern end of Tilghman Island.  The bridge across the narrows is the busiest drawbridge on the bay – it opens on request and there are LOTS of requests.  We get tied up on the 500 foot long floating transient dock at the marina.  They are expecting a full house this weekend, but we are lucky and are the first to arrive so we get our choice of spots on the dock.
