A lot has been going on since the last post obviously. May, June & part of July were spent working on the boat. Inverter problems, steering problems, replacing all the batteries, trying to figure out all the wiring and plumbing as well as many more small things. Ann arrived on June 11th and has been thoroughly emersed into boat life. Thankfully she loves it. We've done 4 or 5 short trips of a couple of hours each to learn the handling of the boat and for me to practice close quarter maneuvering with 1 engine.
Finally everything has come together and we made our first overnight trip down the bay to the Potomac River and in about 5 miles to Smith Creek. Here is the home of the Corinthian Yacht Club, a beautiful place.
We left Solomons on Friday the 24th of August. It was a 4.5 hour trip down with nice conditions. We are on a T dock just below the club house. All the facilities are very clean and well kept. Yesterday, Sat., they had a Luau which is why we came here. The food was great and we danced the night away. Everyone is very friendly and you feel like family here. The property has 3 covered docks and 2 open docks. Also 5 cottages and rooms upstairs in the club house.
Today has been a lazy Sunday. We went out for a short boat ride with some of the members to return in the pouring rain. Did I mention it has been raining off and on since yesterday morning. Tomorrow it is supposed to be nice again and we'll head back to Solomons.
