We had a very leisurely morning at Higgins Yacht Center in St. Michael's, MD on our 8th day on the Chesapeake Bay (June 24, 2025). Richard went to the Marina office to pick up the engine fuel filters he ordered yesterday and had them installed before lunch. The boat engine ran like a champ when he fired it up. After lunch, we borrowed the 2 new marina bicycles (we were the first to use them) and we tootled around town again, stopping on several occasions to check out the shops. We also went on a nature walking/bike path, with a covered bridge. Very scenic. The Looper friends that we met yesterday at Oxford came to St. Michael's and we met them for dinner. We had a very nice time and went back to their boat, a 42 ft Sabre Express named Gypsy Soul, to continue talking and hanging out. They have almost completed the Great Loop and have only 2 weeks left on their journey before they cross their wake and receive their gold burgee. Their home port is in Connecticut.
