Today we finally left Solomons, MD. We have been here for almost two weeks. Just kept finding more reasons to stay. We met some really neat cruisers. Blake, his wife Yvette and their daughters Kate 12 and Ellie 8 are cruising for the summer on a 52 foot Irvim Ketch. They live in Miami now but are from California. Also Jeff, Tracey and their daughter Dallas from Australia. They have been cruising for 15 months on a 56 ft. Catamaran that they bought in Trinidad. Before this trip neither of them had ever sailed. The two families have been traveling together since they met in Key West where the cataman cleared customs upon entering the US. We really enjoyed our time with them and hope to catch up with them again real soon. They even may head for the Bahamas this winter.
Presently we are anchored for the night in Smith Creek on the Potomac River for the night and heading to St. Mary's tomorrow. Will write more then. We haven''t had real good internet connections lately. But it seems to be working better now.
