June 2&3, Tues,Wed- The past 2 days have been sunny and warm with very little wind. Spent Tues night in a pretty harbor at Deltaville, and Wed. we pushed on to Solomons Island with it's protected anchorages.
Thurs thru Sat-Weather has turned cloudy and cooler, anchored in Harness Creek just south of Annapolis just as heavy rain set in. This area is the 200 acre Quiet Waters County park that the river winds thru. Six miles of paved bike trails, a short bike to Annapolis and shopping, and deer feeding along the shore all combined to make this high on our list of spots to return to. Heavy rain all day Fri kept us on board but Sat dawned sunny and warm. After a stop at the nearby Yanmar dealer for a replacement raw water pump for our engine (original had started leaking and I was afraid of it failing), We biked into Annapolis where we spent the day sightseeing.
June 7&8, Sunday- Sunny and warm with light winds as we motor/sailed to Chesapeake City. The tiny harbor was busy with weekend boat traffic but quieted down as evening approached.
Monday-A late start to time our transit thru the C&D canal and Delaware Bay with the tide worked out and we had a great run to the Cohansey River in NJ where our good friends Bob and Mae picked us up for dinner at their home then left us with a car to use. We spent Tuesday catching up on laundry and shopping followed by dinner out.
Wed- An early departure to catch the tide found us in Cape May by noon. Spent the afternoon biking about this quaint city. The trip to the point and lighthouse proved a little more than our out of shape bodies were ready for but we had a great day. Our friends Ken and Heidie aboard Rising tide arrived in the afternoon and we had Cocktails together as we caught up on our adventures since we were last together in Fl.
