Sharps Island Light
Today, sailing from Casson Point on Little Choptank River, west across the Chesapeake Bay, we came across the Sharps Island Light. It stands nearly 3 miles SSW of the southern tip of Tilghman Island in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay. Doesn't it evoke the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Apparently it was an ice flow in 1977 which caused it to lean.
We continued west to the Rhode River, and anchored in Sheephead Cove. Looking at this cove on the charts, we expected it to be a quiet little spot, as there were no docks along its' shore. Were we wrong! It did happen to be a Saturday, and it certainly was a busy summer weekend of fun for all there. It reminded us of Big Chief Island on Lake Couchiching back home - filled with boats!
Thankfully, almost everyone leaves around the dinner hour …. leaving us in peace :)
