We left D.C. August 2, and headed back down the Potomac at a leisurely pace again. We stayed at the same three marinas. It’s nice to go back to places where you’ve been – much easier to navigate to them, dock, get fuel, pumpout.
About half an hour before we got to the second marina, it started to rain and was a real downpour when we were docking. Needless to say, we were soaked to the skin by the time we were tied up. At least it was a warm rain. The next night it was cloudy when we walked to dinner, but we didn’t think it would rain, so we didn’t take an umbrella. Big mistake! It started raining just before we finished dinner, but it seemed like a gentle rain so we headed back to the boat. Of course the sky opened up then and once again we got soaked to the skin. No end for a shower that night 😊
We’re now back at Solomons MD – second time at Zahniser’s Yachting Center. This time the weather has been cooler, so we’ve been able to explore the town more and have dinner at several restaurants, as well as ice cream sundaes along the boardwalk last night. We’ve decided our boat travels on our stomachs!
Tomorrow we head across the Bay for two nights in Oxford, followed by three night in Cambridge. Both are in Maryland, not jolly old England. I think it will be safe to assume they won’t be like their English counterparts.
