Solomon’s Island, MD Zahniser’s Yachting Center June 9-11, 2016
We got off before 8 AM on a really lovely, brisk, sunny day but thankfully with far less wind than yesterday. It was a fairly easy ride except for the hour we spent in the center of the Potomac. It wasn’t as bad as it would have been yesterday, but it gave us some really good rolls. Mom had to put down the yoga mat for me to walk on since we were pitching so hard. Mostly, I just stayed tucked into dad or mom’s side. We saw some Navy ships along with F18’s flying from Patuxent Naval Base pass over us. Cruising into the island was like coming into a New England movie set. Marinas and boats were everywhere you looked…Mom didn’t have our camera out shooting so much today, so she tried to capture some of the scenes on her Phone.
When we came into Zahniser’s, Moondance literally had a layer of salt and oil covering her. So dad gave her a good wash down while mom and I went to pay…We are eating in tonight. I love it when they eat in!
What a beautiful day it is here! Dad took me for my morning constitutional. Sounds like they are leaving me to sleep today…no moving…Well, just a little bit!
M & D used the big bikes they have here for transients to use to go see this darling town. First they ate some yummy breakfast sandwiches & had good coffee at Lotus…a cute hippy, dippy restaurant. From there they started exploring…mom and dad found the famous Tiki Bar complete with sand…Funny…someone has a sense of humor & irony! M & D visited the Visitor Center, U of Maryland’s campus here & spent hours at the Calvert Marine Museum. Incredible! M & D got home in the middle of the afternoon and after taking me out for relief. They took off for the pool for a couple of hours before they came home to feed me. I’m so excited! Mom’s cooking here again, so we can go up on the flybridge again tonight, and watch the world go by…talking about a boat parade! WOW! Tomorrow we leave a bit later so we can get a pump out. Then, they told me Mandie, John and Becca are coming on board in Annapolis! Yeah!!! They are even spending the night! Can’t wait!!! Haven’t seen them in too long!

Some one bought an old Navy Ship and he is trying to redo it himself to do dinner cruises and such...

As cute as it was I passed on this hat but it did get a laugh out of me!

These images are inside of the Drummond Lighthouse that is part of the Calvert Marine Museum
Can't believe they actually had a dining room and eating space in the kitchen too!
Can't do without one of these!
