Back to the 21st Century

I’m not sure exactly where it happened but sometime after leaving Tangier Island, we entered back into the 21st century. What a change at Solomons, MD! This place is one of my favorites of the Loop so far. It’s very much a boating community from the looks of it - there are boats and marinas EVERYWHERE. This must be a popular stop for Loop boats - I counted 22 of them. There are all kinds of restaurants nearby and the place is beautifully maintained too. I will definitely come back here again someday.

We are at the Solomons Island Yacht Club by virtue of being a member of the American Great Loop Cruisers Assoc. (AGLCA). Our stay was rewarded with 2 free drinks at the Club bar which was packed with members who were very friendly and interested in where we were from and what we were doing.

Where we had a windy and rough Chesapeake Bay crossing yesterday, today’s weather for our crossing was the best since Roy has been aboard. We covered 51 miles today so it was nice to have favorable conditions. Tomorrow we are heading to Oxford, MD which is around 38 miles from here.
