Parked In Solomons

We are now at our summer home at Spring Cove Marina in Solomons, Maryland. It is a wonderful marina, one we had noted when anchored nearby in the past. We have already retrieved our car from storage in Ohio, so we also have the luxury of personal transportation. We expect to stay here for at least three months, mixing our time between visiting family and friends and completing some much needed maintenance on the boat. We already have a good start on the exterior teak. I have disassembled our windlass (used to lower and lift the anchor) and ordered the parts to bring it back to new condition. It is no longer manufactured, but I found a source for parts in the United Kingdom. So far we have been able to repair, rather than replace, but I am not sure how long we will be able to do that especially with the electronics.

Since we are staying put we will probably not be adding updates to the blog. Once we get going again we will of course publish updates.
