We departed the inner Annapolis harbor mooring buoy at 0954 hrs this morning. Our plan is to run South about 40 nm to Solomon Is (38 deg 19.9' N x 76 deg 27.6' W) and anchor for the night. The wind was light and on the nose so, once again, we motored. The day started off with a chill in the air but warmed up as the day progressed.
We dropped anchor in a charming little basin just as the sun was setting in 17' of water. It was a quiet night and we enjoyed the rest. The Chesapeake is a great place to find anchorages. Even the small creeks have enough water depth to accommodate a 6' draft. The area is a yachting paradise except for the cold winters.
