Cows Make Nice Neighbors

Mr. O'Donavan takes the helm

We left Baltimore Harbor on Friday August 3 to go up the river to O'Donavan's boat yard for Ostinato's repairs. Mr O'Donavan rode with us to make sure we found our way without going aground. No doubt in my mind, the man has kissed the Blarney Stone on multiple occasions. It was a beautiful cruise up the river and we are now very protected from the wind. While we will miss the interaction at the dock in Baltimore, being tied up next to a cow pasture is another new experience to say the least.

We have met such nice people since we arrived. Stayed up until 1 am listening to music and singing a few nights ago. Yes, they even let me sing. Tonight we enjoyed music at Casey's a hotel, restaurant and pub. When the owner found out we had taken a taxi to get there she arranged for one of the bar tenders to give us a ride back to the boat. Ireland gets the nice award!

King and Ed are back to boat chores during our four day farm experience. We hope to have diesel heat hooked up before we leave here on Weds. I on the other hand am giving a try at making pretzels. I'm having much more fun but I don't think Utz's pretzel company has anything to worry about.





Lots of music on this boat!
