Deale to Solomons Island

Our trip from Deale to Solomons Island was BEAUTIFUL. We debated the trip, studied the weather, studied the winds and watched the radar like hawks. We jumped up as soon as a cell of rain passed over us and high tailed it to Solomons Island. We had a beautiful trip, got to a beautiful marina and had a peaceful night. Much needed. I even watched a TV show and we got our laundry done.

What Could Go Right? It makes so much difference being in the rain in a protected cove. Hopefully we will have more of that.

What Could Go Wrong? We had to replace our radio sadly. But it was pretty easy. West Marine was right next to a place we had lunch and Dave was able to get what he needed and replaced within an hour.

We are on our way to a dock today so that Dave can fix an oil leak issue and potentially work on the window leaks some more. We are expecting more rain on Wednesday and we wanted to stay put until after it passes. It is a long trip today, about 60 miles. But then we will be set for a few days.Read more
