We left Cambridge Monday morning and made our way to Tilghman Island. It was a short trip which we did at a very leisurely speed with almost flat waters the whole way, blue skies, and really hot temps – we’re so ready for cooler weather.

We’ve been having problems with one of our A/C units in the main salon and it decided to completely conk out Monday afternoon. Rich had unsuccessfully tried a variety of things, so we asked when we checked in if there was anyone at the marina who could take a look at it. With only one unit working (there are two) and two small fans going the temp never got below 84 in the daytime. It made us wonder how we got along without A/C growing up! Our A/C is zoned – one unit in each of the cabins and two units for the main salon, so at least we were able to close off our cabin and have a cool place to sleep.

Tuesday morning one of the marina guys came over and spent over 3 hours cleaning out the compressors on three of the units and flushing out all the lines. We now have wonderful cool air!

Once the A/C was fixed, we borrowed the courtesy car (a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport with only 150,000 miles on it) and headed to the general store to pick up some food. It had a little bit of everything, from food to OTC drugs, wine, liquor, ice cream, and a deli counter where we were able to get some great sandwiches to go.

Tomorrow we head back to St. Michaels for four nights. The temps are supposed to be 80 in the day and 65 at night for Friday-Sunday so we hope to see more of the town this time. Last time there the heat index was 105 so we didn’t stay out very long.
