Captain's log:
Can't believe we haven't written anything on our blog for all this time. We have had a kind of tumultuous journey.
We left Chesapeake City on a glorious morning with the Bay being as smooth as glass. Planned on anchoring in the Magothy river where we have been before. Arrived in the river about 4:00 pm, dropped the hook, and settled down for what we thought was going to be a nice relaxing evening.
Our phone rang and we found out we had a family emergency that had to be taken care of. Couldn't do anything that evening so the next morning early we scooted across the Bay to the Kent Island Yacht Club where we rented a car and drove to NJ. Stayed a couple of days and then returned to the Summer Wind.
Left Kent Island Yacht Club and found the Chesapeake Bay again very smooth. Decided to do a long day to the Patuxent river and anchor in Mill Creek beyond the bridge. We had a beautiful clear night with a 3/4 moon which shown brightly. The next day we were scheduled to go into Spring Cove Marina where we were going to have our port salon windows repaired. The track on both windows had deteriorated and need to be replaced. Received a quote and decided to stay while the track was ordered and the work scheduled to be complete. That was Sept 25 and so we were there for 9 days until the track came in and the mechanic finished the windows.
Met and had dinner with an MTOA couple Paul and Joanne and also Jeffrey and Karen from Active Captain joined us. That was a beautiful last night in Solomon Island. Our windows are looking great and hope they will be fine for another 12 years.
The next morning we untied our lines and left Solomon Island to continue our southern journey.
