Here’s a picture of the beautiful Tred Avon River before we headed 13 miles to Cambridge on a sunny day. The 100 foot sail soaring over the Cambridge Visitors Center welcomes you to this deep water harbor town of 11,000. We were lucky enough to be here on Second Saturday when Marge Hull of the Cambridge Historical Society does a walking tour of High Street. She filled us in on past historical intrigues and happenings (was Rev. Maynadier’s wife really buried alive and survived?) and you can see why the town was a model for James Michener’s Chesapeake.
Cambridge was hosting the Eagleman Triathlon on 6/14 with 1,200+ competitors swimming the Bay (and getting stung by jelly fish) as well as running and biking all over town. We fit right in toolin’ around on our 20 inch wheel folding bikes. There could be a Looper Triathlon to showcase all of our athletic accomplishments. We would suggest a folding bike race but not too far as those skinny seats hurt; a blind dinghy race which really measures the ability of one spouse to really listen to the other; and a lock bollard or dock cleat lassoing contest scored by the number of “boat sex” (swearing using terms of sexual intimacy) endearments used.
Cambridge was rockin’ at the Saturday night block party. You can also enjoy great music at Scoop Station on weekend nights, and get great food and class acts at Jimmie and Sook’s Raw Bar and Grill. We seem to have the same itinerary as Briar Patch and enjoyed our get-togethers with Kathy and Dean as well as gold Looper, Graham on Sea Shell. Dean surprised Bob with a vintage awl for canvas repair—now Bob really does have it all.
We stayed at the Cambridge Municipal Marina (1.50 per foot) and there is a free dock in front of Dorchester County Office building.
