Day 114: May 11, 2023

We arrived in Crisfield early, right as the Somers Cove Marina staff got in at 8am. We were thankful to get on a nice, sturdy dock and be out of the Tangier wind and waves from the night before.

After everyone was settled in, we went to find some breakfast grub. There were limited options though we did find a greasy-spoon diner called Gordon’s. It reminded us a bit of the hole-in-the-wall diners in Iowa as there were a few tables of older gentlemen patrons having their black coffees and catching up on the day’s gossip, of which we likely became being outsiders. The food was pretty basic though good enough and cheap.

Crisfield was definitely a crab-based town as evidenced by the industry and restaurants we saw. Seemingly the Crab Capital per the signs.

We were able to get a couple walks in to check out the area and found a nice park and pier at the public library.

The last little treat was a slice of Smith Island Baking Co cake. It was famed and though we couldn’t make it to Smith Island itself, the marina offered courtesy slices! Yum!
