There are beautiful vistas everywhere and many species of birds to see in their various patterns of flying, and we got close enough to see the ugly baby ospreys in their nest and the diligent and beautiful parents going and returning. I saw blue crabs, lots of birds, jumping fish, and calming vistas. I learned so much from well-crafted, literature-quality family and personal stories that made real the global warming in the Bay, DDT in the ecosystem, the conflicts about how to bring back the oysters, what the big donation-seekers really are doing, and more. You have to wonder why the state won't just stop oyster fishing until they recover. It would save the watermen instead of destroying their industry and then turning a dead Bay over to corporations who finally may resurrect it out of self-interest. These narratives were inspiring and persuasive. I'm impressed with the watermen's insights into their industry and its decline. The ship is beautiful. Captain Murphy is a rare human being. And this trip is something I'd hate to have missed. We were a huge group, so I didn't get any fresh oyster, so I'll go again, hoping for a slow day. I can't imagine eating an oyster right out of the Bay, not just alive on ice but a living Bay oyster. There's so much to enjoy. Capt. Murphy even told us a great place to eat. A truly wonderful couple of hours.

Good cruise but not much to see in terms of birds or shore scenery. Capt harvest oysters during the winter. Gave us a lot of information about the role oysters play in filtering the bay, how the over harvesting has reduced their population to 1% within about a decade. Gave us a demo by dredging a few oysters. My wife ate her first ever oyster, raw, without even lemon juice. Very enjoyable experience.

In our social distancing era, the calculus changes perhaps, as the beaches will be crowded and this place will not. Most of the actual preserve is a gravel road; you don't need four-wheel drive or anything, but you'll be dusty. Of several trails, the one at the very end, Ferry Point, leads through an interesting manicured landscape with gnarly trees encircling the path. The offshoot labeled "jack-in-the-pulpit trail" suggested some nifty pitcher-plant looking foliage, but I saw nothing like that. Maybe I just didn't know what to look for. There's a small beach, and some people were using it for boating or fishing. The water was as pleasant as I've seen on the Eastern shore; calm, clear, and with plenty of plant life. So much of the Chesapeake shore is private land that it's nice to be able to see what the scenery looks like without a McMansion, and this preserve is not a place where I'd spend the whole day, but it is convenient to stop at on the way to or from other things.

Thomas Point Park in Annapolis is a county park that offers beautiful views of the Thomas Point Lighthouse, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the bay in general. There is a pavilion that can be rented and a day camping area but I believe what makes this park so popular in the summer months is that its a good fishing spot. As the name implies, the park is on a point of land that jets out into the bay offering great views of the water year round. From November through March visitors can drive into the park without paying a fee. But if you are wanting to drive into the park April though October then you need to obtain a permit and I think they can be a bit tricky to come by. Permits are sold at Quiet Waters Park and sold on a limited first come, first served basis. A limited number of daily permits are sold each morning and a total of 75 monthly permits are sold each month on the last Thursday of the prior month. So yeah, a little tricky but its understandable that admission to this small park, which is accessible through a residential neighborhood, needs to be limited.
