This Is Why I Live On The Water in Stevensville, Maryland
Wednesday the temperature broke and soared to nearly 60 degrees. It came as a welcome relief from the bitter cold we had been experiencing. The clouds came and went and the day wained. As it came onto about 5:30 p.m. and I was still working and I almost missed it - a spectacular winter sunset on Sunset Harbour on Thompson Creek in Stevensville, Maryland. Rocky and I literally ran down the road to the public landing to catch the very best view of the last rays in the final minutes of sunset. Like I said, we almost missed it.
You can see the path a winter fisherman has broken through the ice after launching his boat from the public ramp. For the looks of it the boat either went in bow first or the operator ran it in reverse until he reached deeper, ice free water. There were two crab boats tied to the pier that had been moved in from the moorings out in the harbor. A house boat and the fire rescue boat or just visible in the far distance.
This is why I live on the water. This is why I call the Chesapeake Bay home. And you can too.
