After sitting our the big blow in Galeville with that mooring ball banging against the hull, we left yesterday for Solomons Island, Maryland. The weather was partly cloudy, 56 was the high, and the wind built up so it was 18 to 20 knots on our nose. All in all a bumpy cool ride. We donned our long underwear and new foul weather gear, and April her Filson wool lined coat to stay snug. We have been to Solomons twice before and knew not to anchor - poor bottom. We also remembered that the Calverts Marina is inexpensive, so here we are. We have met an interesting couple, two women, in the tie-up next to us. They are Canadians who started their cruise in Sweden, have been to the Carribean and are now headed for the Bahamas so we will see them again. It is raining now, supposed to blow up tonight as the front comes through and then be good weather again on Saturday.
WishBone was heading out of the Cape May Canal and up the Delaware Bay when fellow cruisers took these pictures.
