After spending a couple of nights at Tilghman Island, we sailed south to Solomons. While at Tilghman we met Tommy & Brenda Asch on Moya. They have 2 sons Ryan (8) and Tyler (6) that reminded us of our sons, Jim III and Daniel at that age. It turns out we have been following each other ever since we left Reedville. So Just Limin and Moya sailed to Solomons together, leaving at 6am to beat the 100+ degree heat expected that day. On the way we noticed some vibration and Jim found water spraying in the engine compartment. We put up the main and the jib and turned off the engine since the wind was both strong enough and from a good direction. All turn out ok, arriving in Solomons without a problem. Good thing too, as it was hot and miserable by 11am. After docking we, cooled our heels in A/C. Later we went out to eat with Moya and then after going back to Moya for a glass of wine, Jim took the boys on a dinghy ride. Tyler had a treasure map, so they were on a mission. Unfortunately they were unable to find any treasure, but everyone returned dry and happy for the short adventure.
Today Jim is changing oil and picking up the rental car. We are driving home on Tuesday, after the boat is hauled to store. A few days before we return, they will repaint the bottom.
