  • Docked at the "free" wall in Cambridge on our way home
  • One of 12 days painted in my sailcation journal
  • A welcomed rainbow after days of rain in Solomon's
  • Scrubbing the decks during a downpour
  • Calvert Marine Museum is a favorite
  • Our green hull stand out in Solomon's
  • A beautiful sunset in Solomon's (on a day too windy to leave)
  • Anchored in the Rhode, near a sad sunken sailboat

It was supposed to be a 13 day sailcation, with stops in the Rhode River, Solomon's Island, St. Mary's City, and Leonardtown. But Hurricane Ian and then a cold front off the Atlantic altered our plans. We were stuck in Solomon's for 9 days. But we met new friends---other cruisers who were also stuck. And I started watercoloring again, making a sketch log of our experiences. None of that would have happened if we would have made it to our intended destinations. And it was still 12 days of being on the water! And we had a nice stop in Cambridge on our way home.
