More Friends Come To Solomons

After leaving the marina we stayed relatively close to Solomons Island. We planned to meet Don and Janet Leech, friends from Pittsburgh when they came to Maryland for the boat show and then on to Solomons. We also expected John and Linda Piper aboard Sea Life, also mutual friends of Don and Janet to arrive the same weekend. John and Linda are on their way south having started in Sandusky, Ohio in late August. We returned from Smith Creek, just behind Point Lookout at the entrance to the Potomac River on Friday to find Sea Life quietly anchored in Back Creek. Many years ago when we lived in Ohio and sailed on Lake Erie in our previous boat, we took many weekend and vacation cruises with John and Linda. We have been looking forward to sharing a few days in the same anchorage with them for a long time now. Don and Janet arrived a day sooner than expected and we were happy to see them. They sail out of Sandusky, Ohio and take extended summer cruises on the Great Lakes. We really enjoyed hearing about their trip this past summer from Lake Erie to the North Channel and then on to Lake Michigan. They were very kind to run us around shopping for a few needed items.
