We thoroughly enjoyed our 'forced' stay over the weekend in Solomon's. The weather was beautiful, so we rode bikes, ate more crabs, and visited the Calvert Marine Museum, which was great! The picture is a lighthouse that used to be on Drum Point, and which was moved to the museum in one piece. Early Monday morning, the guys from Zahniser's arrived, towed us to the dock, and got to work on the steering. We were back in business by early afternoon, but stayed at the dock (with power, and therefore, heat!) Monday night. We took off at first light Tuesday, and came down to Deltaville, VA, where we've been at a dock since. We're getting engine repair estimates from this yard as well as another yard further south, and will either stay put or travel tomorrow to our final destination for this leg.
If nothing else, having boat problems has caused us to enjoy exploring places, rather than arriving late afternoon and leaving first thing the next day. Today, we took Mindy for an extended walk through a nature preserve / sculpture garden (additional pix). Taking more time is definitely the way to go!
