Solomons to Grasonville, MD ~ Our new home!

Today:          54 miles             8.9 hours          ICW St M “-”
Total:    2957.5 miles        399.9 hours

After final hugs, Betty and John helped with lines as we departed around 8:30. 
    The skies area clear, but the winds will be out of the north for most of the day. Those lovely, 18-ish mph winds slowed our progress substantially with the help of an ebb current.  We were doing 4-5.3 mph for most of the day.
     The winds died down around 2:30, but the current remained against us until be approached Poplar Island. Thankfully, we had a strong current up Prospect Bay and into the Kent Narrows. We just made the 4:30 opening of the bridge.
     We continued to our new “home” in Mears Point Marina.  Since the docks have half-finger piers, this is the first time we backed into our new slip.  Since it was Memorial Day, some of our new neighbors were around and welcomed us to the marina.  Once lines were properly secured for the season, we ate a light dinner and chilled.
     Our 2018-2019 Cruise is complete. It is good to be home!
