Today is the final day of our cruise and were once again battling the current, but this time in heavy fog. As were departed around 6, we could see land as we were leaving Solomons, but soon everything was that flat white. The entire Bay was socked in. All morning, our visibility was less than 50 feet. It finally began to lift after 1. We could spot some land here and there. By 3, we were in bright sunlight.

We pulled into a
very quiet marina. There are lots of
boats still out of the water, many in the water still winterized and lots of
slips still vacant. The marina only reopened
last week due to the quarantine. I
imagine that activity will begin to increase shortly.
This 2019-2020
Cruise has been a very memorable for the new friends we made, previous friends
we continue to enjoy, beautiful scenery and sunsets, great food, and special places, but also
for a lot of “other stuff” that happened. It started with me staying with my
sister as she underwent chemotherapy and Pete making the journey south by himself. Our stay in Stock Island, lacking the sense of
community we have had in the past. . . and a new world according to Corona virus
19. Thankfully, Pete was able to make
the trip south and deal with the mechanical issues. My sister is currently disease free, our moms
continue to amaze us, our family remain healthy, adapting to working, schooling
and day care, all from home, meetings on the internet, as well as lots of texts, messenger, postings, emails
and and especially love.
We look forward to
heading south again in the fall ~ for more great sunrises, sunsets, scenery, friends
both new and old, and new places to explore. For now, however, we have family to see and we both have lengthy list of
projects that need to be done, hopefully, many of which will be completed before we begin the journey South
again.
