Solomon Island – May 24, 2008



We were able to sleep in today. That was nice after having to be up early the past few days. After showering and having breakfast we took our bikes to check out the island. We rode all the streets of Solomon Island and then walked the boardwalk. We went into a couple of their boutiques and art galleries and stopped at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory Visitor Center. That was interesting. It is a part of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science and is the oldest state-supported marine laboratory on the East Coast.

We got back to the boat and decided that because the bikes were off the boat it would be an excellent time to put a coat of non-skid on the trunk cabin. The weather was nice and after washing it Darrell taped and then we painted. We also put a coat on the forward cabin top.

The marina we are in is very close to the Calvert Marine Museum, which is where a concert will be held tonight. They started setting up yesterday and have the entire area cordoned off. Dierks Bentley will be performing tonight and we’re told we will be able to hear perfectly from our boat.
