Do you travel when the weather is perfect or do you see the sites? That is the question.

Yesterday and today in Solomons, MD at Calvert Marina and the weather could not be more perfect: 3-5 mph winds and low of 70 at night high of 80 during the day. Tomorrow is the only day with 60% chance of rain but the winds aren’t supposed to be bad (around 7mph). Oxford is our next stop and while it is across the Chesapeake it is only about 30 miles. Life is tough when: do we stay or do we go is the biggest decision of the day. Our delightful friends, Theresa and Larry Valentine (crossed the Gulf with them—saw again in Beaufort, SC) pulled into Calvert yesterday about 5 hours after we did and they have been here before so we are having great conversation with other humans—sometimes it is nice for me to talk recipes and Fitz to talk engines with others. We were sad to hear the news that our friends Nina and Bart (from Knoxville area and we were with them in Dunedin, FL) had to abandon the Loop in Savannah, GA where they had to have their boat repaired (taking on water from running aground). We realize how lucky we are every day. Loose plan for the next 2 weeks—Oxford, MD anchor, St. Michaels, MD anchor, Annapolis, MD mooring, Gibson Island anchor, Baltimore, MD at Maryland Yacht Club for July 3rd-5th (all important fireworks). Wish you were here....
