Always a fun place to go, May is a great time of the year to do it. The weather was perfect - no air

conditioner needed, and even had the heater on a couple nights. The best part was sitting by the

fire watching the sun set across the Patuxent River.

Boating in and around the harbor is fun...lots of boats to see:

Some with old salts getting ready for the next trip. This guy reminded me of Wayne for some reason:

We came across this boat, which was interesting. Looked like maybe it had crossed the Atlantic and

had a fireboat welcome in NY City.

And no trip to Solomons would be complete without an out-of-focus shot of an osprey family.

Lots of fun.



Then I went to visit brother in NC. Another 600 miles on that old Moto Guzzi. He's not doing all

that well, but hasn't recovered from the chemo yet. Still very weak. He'd be a good poster boy for

an anti-smoking campaign. Of course, three and a half years in Vietnam and the resulting Agent

Orange exposure probably didn't help much.


Very nice, John. Very nice indeed. Looks like you had a lot of fun and was worth getting away for. Good boat pictures too. Was the temps really humid? and I hope you missed out of the storms.


Not the least bit humid. Daytime temps were in 70's, night got into low 50's. Had a great time.
