Our travels today took us from the eastern shore of the Chesapeake to Solomons, on the western shore. We crossed the 1000 nautical mile milestone on our trip today. It will be interesting to see how many miles we cover each year.
Solomons is recognized as one of the boating capitals of the Chesapeake. There are hundreds of interesting boats in this area. We walked the docks this evening, and wish we could spend more time here to to explore, but that will have to wait for a future visit.
We are docked at Washburn Boat Yard. They are recognized as 'the trawler' spot on the Chesapeake. We spent a couple of hours this afternoon with the owner going over the work we want to have done next summer. We were both impressed with his knowledge and approach to our issues. And he loved Monarch's style, taking photos to show his wife!
This trawler sits off of our bow this evening. They have us docked in the haul out well, just for our quote and overnight.
We feel like we are back at MacRay Harbor as the jets from the Patuxent Air Base have been flying over all evening.
Tomorrow we begin our trip up the Potomac River to our nation's capital.
