The cruise from Deltaville VA to Solomons MD was very long, 66 miles, our longest to date of the Loop. We left the dock at 6:00 and arrived at 2:30. Saw our first dolphins and brown pelicans for this year. Our old friend the vibration seemed to return along with a tapping sound, so had the boat hauled to check the running gear. After great discussion about finding nothing wrong, much less anything that could hurt the boat, and a line cutter installed wrong - but still very operable - back in the water she went. Got to a nice slip and after organizing the boat settled in with a tall Sailor Jerry rum and relaxed. Dinner at the CD Café and early to bed.
Another up early day and away from the dock at 6:00 to head to Annapolis. Smooth trip with no vibration or tapping (just going to forget about that stuff). Arrived at 12:00 and got a slip on the City Dock wall downtown where all the tourists walk by. Cross that experience off of Ger's bucket list! It is fun to watch all the people, listen to their comments and just relax. "Dock City Dogs" for a "Chicago-dog" for lunch, then washed the boat decks, took a nap, had a light dinner aboard, and walked for ice cream just before sunset. we had visited all of our favorite places last year and this was basically a transit stop this year.
