At the end of September we caught the last ferry for the season to Smith Island in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay… it’s a step back in time. No cars, 2 places to eat and a few homes and churches. Smith Island, Md., It’s famous for it’s crab and peace and quiet. This dilapidated looking old store is Ruke’s - they serve the best crab cakes in the world. No qualifier, they just do. Toe curling good and fresh. And it’s about as atmospheric as all get out. This is the view of the crab huts from the primitive porch, where you eat.
