Good Day in Solomons

Marina Office..pretty posh don't you think?

Restaurant on the Patunxent shore in Solomons


Looking off to the Bay 

This is a crab pot...have no idea why they call them pots...shouldn't they be cages?

More colorful crab pots.  The floats are styrofoam and are painted to denote the owner.

Looking down the Solomons harbor from Back Creek the entry to the Harbor.  Note the masts....there seems to be an equal amount of power and sail here though.  The power boats seemed to be in the inner part of the harbor.

Club Med...Zahnisers...isn't this the life?!!

No floating in the pool today, although I did get a Solomons style bus ride with Gwen to JoAnn's Fabrics.... not the best bus trip so far, we nearly froze to death....and a bag full of goodies at the Amish Farmers Market on the city dock when we got back.  Finished the day with our new friends at the "Tiki Slab" (it's quite a bit short of being a bar) at the Holiday Inn Marina  where Gwen & Walter and new friends Bud, Elaine, Mike & Peggy are moored .  They are all full time cruisers, no houses, no cars, just holes in the water unto which they poor money, and wouldn't have it any other way.  Talking to them you begin to realize the meaning of 'lifestyle' and what this means to them. They have 47 years of cruising between them! Tomorrow we head out for St. Leonard's Creek on the Paxutent.  Another new adventure.
