The Weitzells Join Us in Solomons

The end of our summer cruise is  especially fun for us. Erin, Roy, Morgan, and Dylan join us for the 4th of July weekend in Solomons. We luck out and get the last....and the only large transient slip at the Navy Recreation Center here. The boat is a bit crowded with 6 sleeping, but there is plenty to do here.

 

 We go to the Calvert Marine Museum, where we see a megladon and a lighthouse and learn the history of the Chesapeake.

We also swim in the pool, one of FOUR pools at the complex, sail to  Vera's White Sand Beach Club for lunch on the St. Leonard Creek, take a dinghy ride, go to the reconstructed St. Marys City, an 800 acre park showing life in the 1600s, and finish the weekend with 4th of July fireworks, viewed from the boat, after which, Rick makes a fantastic smooth landing back into our med-mooring slip in 15 knot winds in the pitch dark with a line of boats hot on our tail.
