While anchored in St. Michael's the other day, we pulled our dinghy up to a 42 ft. Catalina and met Art and Beth Bauer. We exchanged cards. Today while out in our dinghy, we saw them pulling into the harbor and went up to speak with them. After they anchored, they called us to meet them for a drink...at the Dry Dock Restaurant, which is at our marina.
We sat and talked for more than two hours. They have been sailing for more than 25 years. She is retired from sales and he is a retired electrical engineer. What a nice couple!
We hope to get together with them tomorrow night over a bottle of wine if the weather is good enough for us to take the dinghy to their boat. If not, we'll catch up with them along the ICW.
This morning, we took courtesy bicycles from our marina and rode all over Solomons. There's a small "boardwalk" made of plastic boards along the bay. Beautiful scenery. We visited the University of Maryland Chesapeake Biological Laboratory along the water. I watched two interesting videos on the facility and the research they are doing to bring oysters back to the bay to help clean the water.
We went back to our boat for lunch, then took a 3-hour dinghy ride all around the harbours.
We had a fun day and I'm exhausted, so calling it an early night. We're in this marina until Sunday morning, waiting for Wayne and Patti to catch up to us! They are visiting friends in Annapolis.
