June 24 - Solomons Island to Annapolis, MD

,Yesterday we had rain on and off all day long. Today was sunny, hot
and humid. With a southwest wind, the Chesapeake was very calm. As we left the Solomons, we enjoyed a good view of the Calvert Cliffs, 30 miles of fossil-laden clay strata and beach. Here we also saw one of the many light houses. Marking the entrance to the Severn River, which leads us to Annapolis, is Thomas Point Light, one of three remaining screwpile lighthouses of the original 45 on the Bay. As we passed part of the Naval Academy, we saw some very young sailors
being instructed in the finer points of sailing. We had not made slip reservations and planned on tying up to a mooring ball. However we got lucky and found the very best place to dock, at the foot of Main Street with all the shops, restaurants and historic streets just a few steps away. Thressa's most favorite store is across the street - an ice cream shop.
