Guess We Like it Here

We're still sitting on the hook at Solomon's Island. We planned to leave here on Thursday, but ended up staying. So we lost our weather window. Yesterday was cold and rainy so we stayed on the boat all day and read our books. Michele made chicken parmigiana for dinner and of course we had wine. Today we went ashore and walked around the Calvert Marine Museum - which was mostly closed because of their annual ball this evening. We were able to walk around the grounds and check out the small craft exhibit and the lighthouse. They also have the Presidential Yacht that JFK used during his presidency. We also walked to Food Lion and ran into some friends that we met back in Cape May - Dave and Linda from Ontario, Canada. They may join us later for drinks. They also planned on leaving when we did, but didn't. Now it looks like we're all here until Monday since the wind and seas have been kicking up in the Chesapeake.

It's a riot being here though. Every time we go ashore and hang out at the strip mall we run into so many cruisers. If it isn't the back pack or the white beard that gives them away, they might also have a West Marine wheeling cart and/or big canvas bags. We've met quite a few of them this week alone and I'm sure we'll bump into them all along the way. We met a couple from New Jersey who had their dog with them - a black lab. She was much smaller than Junior. We also met a couple from Maine. And even if the people we met today weren't cruisers, they stop and chatted because I had my Boston Red Sox cap on.

Not much else to write since we haven't moved in 5 days and will probably be here until Monday. We have been all around the Solomon Island area though. We took a bus to a Mall that had Loews, Target, Walmart and tons of other stores. We also took a bus the next day to an Ace Hardware which was pretty far. We have to stop going ashore though, because we keep spending money every time we set foot on land. That's all for now. Until we have something more interesting to write about - signing off!
