October 10

We are now in Soloman Islands, Maryland. We left Annapollis at 9:40 with warm weather and calm seas. However, the seas picked up after 2 hours and we pulled into Soloman at 12:30. It's really nice here. We rented bikes and had a good tour of this very small island. Annapolis was fantastic. We were unaware of the sailboat show, and had some trouble finding a space, but finally got a slip at Petrini boatyard. On Saturday, we got reciprocal privileges at the Annapolis Yacht Club, Thank you Marilyn, and had a great day. Annapolis is a very pretty city, with lots to do and see. The weather was fantastic, 80 degrees. Today is cool and cloudy.

If the weather cooperates we will be in Virginia tomorrow.

We used 156 gallons of gas today and traveled 54.9 miles. The coast guard approached us as we passed a power plant, but did not make us stop. People here are very friendly.

I hope we make it to Yorktown tomorrow, but whenever we have to stop, we have a good time.
