5/14/14: Weather, weather, weather. It seems like the entire country is experiencing bad weather so we aren’t alone.  The weather for the next couple of day is expected to kick up on the bay; wind gust 30 knots, thunderstorms & heavy rain. With that kind of news we decided to tuck into a Shipwright Harbor Marina off Herring Bay, Maryland.

As with lots of marinas on the Chesapeake Bay the sailboats out numbered the power boats. There is a good restaurant within walking distance and a West Marina.

5/13/14: Solomons Island: As we were approaching the dock we were greeted by fellow Loopers out in their dinghies. Tom & Jan- ‘Navigator, Larry & Jan – ‘Panacea’, & Ross & Barb- ‘Attitude Changer”.  

After docking we enjoyed a delicious meal with everyone at a nearby seafood restaurant.  This Looping thing is awesome.
