Havre de Grace, What a Disappointment!

The storms never materialized and we woke with excitement as we planned a day ashore in Havre de Grace. Somewhere along the way we got water in the dinghy fuel so our land excursion was delayed as I filtered out the water and got the motor restarted. I should have never bothered.

We ventured towards the spot where Skipper Bob had said there was a dinghy dock. Fences and railings made it very apparent that we were not welcome. We motored down to Tidewater Marina to ask if there was any other place to go ashore. A nice gentleman offered their dock, but before we could get ashore someone else with more “authority” told us in no uncertain terms that we were not welcome and needed to leave immediately. Needless to say we are very depressed over the whole ordeal. It is very hard getting used to the feeling that we are second class citizens, homeless people that no one wants.

If you follow the link to Wikipedia for Havre de Grace you will see under “Local Color” that the towns people don’t think much of their out of town visitors. I guess that means us as well.

We will leave in the morning (without spending a cent), hopefully not only leaving this place behind, but also the feelings we now have.
