At
anchorMill Creek, Solomons, MD
We
cruised about 50 miles today to a familiar anchorage at Mill Creek in Solomons. We had little boat traffic, fairly calm
water, and fewer crab pots than expected – so not a bad day! When we approached the testing range for the
Patuxent Naval Air Station, they contacted us by radio and asked us to adjust
our course 10 degrees to the east. We
were happy to comply and enjoyed several fly-bys of their P-8 Poseidon and the
chase plane, an F-18.
We
arrived at Mill Creek at 1545 and immediately turned on the generator so we
could have air conditioning. We had dinner
on board and relaxed for the evening.
