Heading South Again

Solomons

Linda returned home Monday. She was so happy to have been able to spend time with Pamela, Scott and Camyrn and was sad to leave but at the same time wanting to get back. After a month at the same anchorage we were extremely anxious to get going, but decided to stay another day in Annapolis to give Linda a day to get settled in again. The forecast for Wednesday through Friday was for rain and windy conditions. We decided to leave anyway and made the 9 am bridge opening. The day turned out pretty good with only a couple of brief showers. The skies were very grey and the winds were moderate, but variable. We did get in a little sailing in the afternoon. We were amazed at the number of boats on the bay with the poor conditions but noted they were all also on southerly courses. We anchored near the mouth of Back Creek in Solomons. We were expecting to leave in the morning and with the conditions did not plan to go ashore. The wind increased overnight and the morning forecast was for high winds for the next 24 hours. We decided to stay another day so we moved further up the creek to a more protected area.
We have our new laptop now and what a difference. I was just trying to push the old one beyond it's ability and it wasn't working out. Linda had quite a heavy load on the return trip. In addition to the laptop we had repair parts and other boat stuff sent to Scott and Pamela's. I learned after the fact that the Harbormaster in Annapolis provides package receipt service (free) and that they even contact you when the package arrives. Now we know.
