Solomons to Crisfield, MD

Finally departed Calvert Marina in Solomons.  Destination today is Crisfield, MD on the eastern shore.  Jack and Evie Collard (Eldridge C.) are also going there and departed about ninety minutes ahead of us.

Although the weather forecast was 10-15 kts from the North with 3 ft seas, it actually turned out to be a very pleasant trip.  Going with the wind and tide, we consistently saw 8 kts on the GPS.  Passed Smith and Tangier islands on way but didn’t stop.

Five hours later we anchored in the lovely little harbor at Crisfield.  This sleepy little town is about to undergo a major transformation…three large condos are being built around the harbor with prices starting in the mid-$400,000’s!!

Walked around the town a bit with Jack and Evie…there are four hardware/marine stores in one block.  Not sure how they all stay in business.
