Kent Island MD

After much review and discussion on the weather we decide to continue on to Safe Harbor Kent Narrows. We expect 2 to 3 foot waves with wind gusts to 20 mph mostly on our nose until we make the turn into Eastern Bay which is exactly what we experienced. We cruise past the Calvert Cliffs, Cove Point Lighthouse and the nuclear plant! 

Kent Narrows connects the Chester River to Eastern Bay. There are two bridges side by side, the first is a bascule bridge with 18feet clearance and the second a highway bridge with 65 clearance. Nana takes a picture after we cruise under the bridge as we approach SH Narrows Point. Once inside, The Narrows the shore is full of restaurants, fuel docks, marinas, and boat yards. 

SH Narrows Point is across the waterway with a full service marina including a massive pool area, gym, multiple restaurants, a lovely visitors lounge, multiple shower facilities with laundry ( coin operated ). The Harris Seafood CO,LLC has been in the same family for several generations - celebrating 75 years - famous for its oysters and crabs Nana and Nandad check it out.

Although we do not eat any shell fish we did try the crab mini cakes which were yummy. Nana was very interested in watching the nearby tables tackling their crabs with hammers, pinchers and sharp knifes. One couple provided a demo for us and gave us permission to take a picture of their feast! 

It seemed a lot of work for very little meat but we were reassured it was well worth the effort. Beside the restaurant is a coffee shop called Dessert before dinner - run by the same family - so of course Nana picked up some dessert with a latte cappuccino and two raspberry lemon muffins for breakfast. Yummy 
Tomorrow we are so excited to have reservations for the Chesapeake Inn Restaurant and Marina. The last time we stopped here was with Ireland’s Eye 2015 and it is such a unique spot. This will bring us to the tip of the C&D Canal.
