Day 3: Dozier's to Solomon's, MD (54NM, 6 Hours)
Last night we looked at the weather forecast for today and decided to get up early to avoid the thunderstorms predicted for Solomons, MD in the afternoon. We were off around 6am and arrived around Noon. There was fair winds and following seas the whole way.
Gerry Gleckel is a member of the Air Force C4 Association, through which we've became acquainted. He and his wife, Susan live just across the Patuxent River from Solomons Island with easy access to the Gov. Thomas-Johnson Bridge that connects the two cities. Gerry and Susan visited with us this afternoon. We enjoyed a glass of wine on the lanai while a thunderstorm passed through, then had dinner at the Back Creek Bistro.
The Back Street Bistro is a stones throw from the float floating docks at Calvert's Marina in Solomons Island. They had lots of Gluten Free menu choices which made this place a great find for Linda. Best Lobster bisque Linda has had in a long time. All our meals were good. After dinner we took more selfies.
Tomorrow we'll float by Gerry and Susan's dock before heading north to Herrington Harbour South Marina, North Beach, MD.
