Cambridge...revisited

Over the years we have visited Cambridge, MD a few times. There was the infamous grounding near the town wall, 4th of July fun, Oktoberfest, anchoring in the middle of the town basin (‘cause the wall incident sufficiently scared us off of that option!)...all visits via boat and all several years ago. I’ve always wanted to explore the eastern shore a bit more and the Skipper came up with an awesome plan—stay at a marina in Cambridge (great rates!) for a week and bring the car over so we could really explore. And it was AWESOME! Logistically this plan required me to cast the crew off and drive around each time we crossed the Bay, but the kids have really become truly helpful hands and that went very smoothly.

Cambridge Yacht Basin provided safe, clean home for the week, hurricane Zeta provided some weather excitement, and homeschooling allowed us the flexibility to explore. Cambridge businesses that we visited took COVID precautions seriously and we felt safe while out and about.

The highlights? Assateague National Seashore and State Park, Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park, and just walking around Cambridge and enjoying street art. We also really liked hitting up RAR Brewing for dinner and drinks—great brews, food, and staff! 

Assateague and the horses!

I’m glad we came back. Even without a car, I would come back. I think we had a different perspective on this visit since the kids are older and we all really liked it!
