Solomons Island Charm - Days 250 to 251 - Deltaville, VA to Solmons, MD

After a leisurely Wednesday morning, we departed Deltaville and headed north to Solomons Island, Maryland. 

Again, we experienced unseasonable 90+ temperatures but, as usual, it was 10 degrees cooler on the water.  We covered most of the 67 miles at an average speed of 27 MPH (2,300 RPM) on calm waters.  As we entered Black Creek we discovered on of the most charming harbors that we have ever seen.  The creek is lined with not less than 15 marinas.  Most have wooden fixed docks and several have restaurants.  The scenery was just amazing.

Boardwalk leading to a nice restaurant

At 3:05 PM we docked at Zahniser's Marina and discovered a really first class facility.  Kodi and I explored took an afternoon walk and explored the community.

Dinner was at their on premises three star restaurant, The Dry Dock.  This was followed by a dingy cruise of Black Creek, which started at nautical twilight and ended very quickly as the gnats came out as night fell.

Thursday, we awoke to a 93 temperature that, according to http://www.weatherunderground.com/), felt like 105, and it really did. The east coast was suffering from a heat wave.  The heat was so oppressive that we chose to stay in doors, which proved to be very productive.

After dinner we took another dingy cruise.  Here are a few photos:

Tomorrow take our final cruise on the 48.  Final stop, Annapolis, Maryland.
