A tour of Maryland

We finally got off the hard in a shallow slip this morning in St. Michaels Harbour Marina.

The wind had come up and blown water out of our already shallow slip so we ended up waiting for the tide and water to come in. At least we had a chance to check the bottom which is quite clean. We left St. Michaels at 9:30 this morning and mostly sailed down Eastern Bay back into Chesapeake Bay and sailed down the bay to the western shore about 45 miles to Solomons Island.

Solomons is an old fishing and shipbuilding village which now has several marinas and shipyards as well as a museum.

It is located at the mouth of the Patuxtent River, the next river is the Potomac which leads to Washington.

We hope to stay here a couple of days then head through the delta of the Potomac further south to Reedville or Deltaville where we'll stop before getting to the bottom of the Chesapeake.

This may be our last stop in Maryland if all goes well.
