Ardelle Report

Posted on September 28, 2012 by

Friday report from Mike Dyer aboard the Ardelle… They are lazily making their way down the Chesapeake and are eating like kings! It turns out Harold has some moves in the kitchen and likes to cook. He’s been whipping up pies in his woodstove. Bob Brophy brought all sorts of goose meat and they’ve had goose stew, goose sausage and even goose benedict this morning! For lunch today Harold came up with a goose shepherd’s pie. Mike says this is the calm part of the trip and their making up caloric intake from when they were in rough seas and nobody had time or desire to eat. It was pretty hairy but the Ardelle was solid and he wouldn’t have missed that part of the trip for the world. –Sarah Willwerth-Dyer Photos by Pierre Erhard

    I can tell you from experience they are being very well treated by the owner of Heron. Here is a view of their current location from his window . http://www.amschooner.org/node/639#comment-1995
    It’s a pity they won’t have time to sample some of the other delights in Solomons — The Calvert Marine Museum, Stoneys, for the best crabcakes on the Chesapeake and of course the Tiki Bar where you can acquire a terrific hangover.
