Soloman's Island

This is the famous Thomas Point Light,

you know you're on Chesapeake Bay when you go by this.

You can probably see the whitecaps in the background, 

winds from the south fifteen to seventeen.

Can of snotty, but the boat did good,

 thank you C. Raymond Hunt and ass. who designed it!

Pulling in the Patuxant River, 

we are going to Solomon's Island

 but to get there you pass the Naval Air Station across the river.

 Lots of Jets, pretty darn cool.

We only think we have a monopoly on Ospreys in Florida, 

they are certainly not an endangered species,

 but they are special and very beautiful.

As you arrive into Solomon's harbor you are greeted by this wonderful statue

 that commemorates the fallen soldiers that have defended our country. 

Right after Memorial day it was fitting to be greeted such.

Okay, full disclosure, Ginny was greeted that way. 

While she was getting these cool shots 

I was down at the boat holding the nozzle while I fueled up. 

Remember when you could just click the holder? 

No more, three hundred gallons and I held it for every one!

See what that did to me? 

Of course the demon rum had nothing to do with it, nothing at all. 

Sure feels good to relax!

Our view from the dock of the harbor.

 Lovely spot, rained and cooled off and freshened things up.

Our next stop is Onancock, Virginia. 

We farmed in that area and still own properties,

 going to some wonderful friends daughter's wedding. Should be fun.

Crossing the bay to the eastern shore,

 the weather is calm and cooler should be a great day.
