After a couple of rain delays we finally were able to head out of the Rhode River and go south. The forecast was for SW winds but we were hoping they would stay more out of the west than not. Well......sometimes they did but the oscillating winds (maybe 30-40 degrees) made most of the sail bumpy and rather hard. Towards the end the wind picked up and we flew into Solomons Island nicely.
There are many small anchorages in a number of creeks so we are having a couple of nice nights.......ah, quiet!
The town at Solomons Island is small but quaint. We managed to get our exercise walking from one end to the other. We dinked over to what the cruising guide said is the "world's most famous dinghy dock". We still can't figure out why as it cost us $2 bucks and it was just at the wall of the Holiday Inn.
A good start!! Seems so very good to be moving and seeing new places and things.
