We left St. Michael's around 7:30 a.m. with light winds at the bow and the tide in our favor. Speed over ground was 6 knots. As the day progressed, winds were favorable for sailing, so we pulled the main sail to help us with speed and SOG increased to 6.5-7.5 knots. Seas were about 2 ft. and water was breaking over the bow.We arrived in Solomons, Md., around 4:15 p.m. and have a slip at Zahniser's Yachting Center for two nights. They had a sign in our slip, Reserved Sheet Music. First time we saw that!
I'm also including a photo of Skipper Chuck in his new hat from an all-things-Jimmy-Buffett store in St. Michael's called Bleachers.
We'll walk around town tomorrow. Chuck tells me there's a breathtaking view from Chesapeake Biological Laboratory. It's part of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. We'll be sure to take our cameras!
