Well,guess what????? We are still tied to the same dock we have been on since lat week. The weather man is not cooperating and so here we are. Hopefully we will be able to get underway tomorrow.
So, since we last wrote we have been busy on the Summer Wind and in town. Took our bikes and found a good "Food Lion" (southern chain) and bought some essentials and a few doors away was a "boaters world" so you know I had to go in. Came out with boat soap so some day we can wash down again.
Touring Solomon Island is neat and as you can see the fire hydrants are all talking to us.
Yesterday biked all the way down to the tip of Solomon and went into the Calvert Museum where they have one of the only screw top lighthouses. The only one working is out in the Chesapeake a little north of here. From there ended up in the West Marine store and purchased a new solar lamp for the back deck and a new stereo radio since ours was on the fritz. Got the old one out after much juggling and found hundreds of wires that need to be connected but don't have the right connections. Planned on getting them today but the weather is nasty.
So here we are watching the trees blow like crazy and just waiting for the deluge which is predicted.
Ted and Nancy have gone to an MTOA Chesapeake group rendezvous so we said our goodbyes yesterday. Had a great dinner with them the night before at a very unique restaurant called "Vera's White Sands Club". Vera was an aspiring actress who use to come out all dressed in a fancy gown to entertain the diners. She has passed but her legacy still stands. Lot's of fun and good food.
Our water tanks are filled, our charts are ready, and we are anxious to get underway, so maybe tomorrow. Will let you know........
