We left Annapolis Sunday morning and headed for Solomon’s Island. We were glad to leave Annapolis, although we had an enjoyable time and met some very interesting people. I feel very confident in saying that we will never keep a boat there and we will probably not go back by boat either. It is a zoo!!
We made Solomon’s Island by 5:00pm. Left out the next morning at 7:15am, heading for an anchorage we like near Deltaville, called Little Bay. When we arrived there were no other boats. The whole place to ourselves!!!!! It was sooooo nice. And quiet! Another boat did show up later, but they were quite aways from us. The dogs had a grand time running on the beach and playing in the water. I know there are those among you reading this that have asked how we do certain things on the boat, such as getting the dogs to shore, as well as ourselves. I am posting a picture of me schlepping the dogs to shore in the dinghy. Think of the dinghy as our car. The dogs are always anxious to get in the dinghy. Savannah actually jumped from the boat to the dinghy one time. I thought, oh great we’re going to have to find a vet to have a bone set after that jump, but she was ok. If that had been Shelby, ‘our delicate little flower’, you know we would have been at the vet’s office.
Jeff left this morning to drive the car home. He will fly back tomorrow evening. We have a few things to complete this weekend, like changing the oil in the engine and generator, as well as marking our chain on the different anchors, so we will know how much we have out – seems like we would have done this already doesn’t it? Anyway – weather permitting we will be leaving Monday morning and heading South. More later.
