Today’s journey was in one of the widest parts of the Potomac. Our route was arrow straight with one turn. Reminded us of motor sailing to South Haven….the horizon filled with nothing but sky — except we could see the shore on either side:-) And, this trip took only about 4 hours and it took us twice as long to get to South Haven. But the view of sky and water stretching across the horizon as we moved along was pretty much the same.
We are staying at White Point Marina again. Very nice people and they have a loaner car! We re-traced our steps to Las Portales Mexican restaurant too. We are both stuffed. What is it about Mexican restaurants? Maybe it’s us?!
Weather turned a bit today. I changed into long pants about 1/3 of the way to Kinsale (which is where White Point Marina is). And the weather forecast says we’ll have thunder storms tomorrow with high winds. We will probably stay put. And the owner of the marina has invited us to the White Point Yacht Club’s chicken dinner tomorrow night, an annual event called “Beer Butt Chicken.” Sounds fun and delicious. I spotted a HUGE outdoor grill at the clubhouse.
Mapped out some stops we’d like to make on our way to Annapolis and Galesville…Kent Island, the Solomons, Oxford, St. Michaels and a few more. Weather will be a big factor in how many we actually make. On the advice of our sailing friends, we’ve decided that calendars with “gotta be there” dates are dangerous and have no place aboard.
Hoping we get a bit of sun tomorrow. There is a lovely pool here that looks inviting.
No internet where we are docked…..so I will head up to the pool house later to load up some pictures for you.
