Solomon’s, MD (return trip)

We left our Annapolis anchorage at 8:40 on Friday, October 16 for a long day of cruising to the Solomon’s. The weather was snotty - rainy, windy and cold.  We kept the Stratoglass on the flybridge fully closed, wore warm clothes and used blankets to keep warm during the six hour journey.  Fortunately, there was a following sea so it wasn’t terribly rough. However, it was uncomfortable enough that Lynn couldn’t read, write or go below. We didn’t even eat lunch and munched on Kind bars instead.  Lynn even napped a little which is very unusual.

It was still raining when we arrived at Calvert’s Marina in the Solomon’s.  Jonny donned his full set of rain gear and fortunately two dockhands were there to help us tie up.

Once we got settled, we relaxed on board and Lynn made a delicious new chicken recipe with Israeli couscous, lemon and feta. It was a big hit.

That night we did our usual Friday night routine watching the PBS News Hour, Washington Week and Firing Line. After that we watched another PBS show, the Lifetime Emmy Awards.  It featured a wide array of fabulous musicians and took us for an entertaining walk down memory lane, revisiting the music of our youth.

There is only one more day of travel on Zendo for us this year.  It’s always a bittersweet feeling.  We love cruising but we also love our Miami home. We’re so fortunate to have the best of both worlds!
