6/6/10 – Solomons, Maryland

Since the weather forecast predicted small craft warnings for winds out of the southwest with gusts to 25 mph and thunderstorms with possible tornadoes for later in the afternoon, we thought that it would be wiser for us to stay in port today. We then cancelled our reservation at the Annapolis Yacht Club, and then decided to amend our itinerary and make a 100 mile run to the C & D Canal tomorrow, since things would improve then.


After a quiet morning we walked to “The Captain’s Table” restaurant for an early Sunday dinner. George had their fabulous She-crab soup, and we even ordered another quart to take back to the boat with us. We have eaten here many times over the years, and have always enjoyed their “down-home” cooking and casual atmosphere. The predicted thunderstorms did appear in the late afternoon, and we were even under a tornado warning for about 45 minutes, but we did escape the major wrath of this system, and happily conditions calmed down as the evening wore on.
