Here we are back in Solomons Island again. We decided to stop here after leaving Cambridge, MD and the MTOA rendezvous. We had a great time in Cambridge. The rendezvous was a great success and very well attended. Over 70 boats and around 200 people showed up and attended a lot of seminars, social gatherings in the evening and some great dinners. We always have a grand time at these events and see a lot of our cruising friends and meet a bunch more.

The town of Cambridge has a really long heritage. In years past it was a "Waterman" town and still has one of the largest crab packing facilities on the Chesapeake Bay. Right now it is trying hard to restore the town which has had a hard time through this recession. There are a lot of businesses struggling and a lot of empty store fronts. It will come back! It's too popular not to.
We have left Cambridge and are starting our trek south. We've stopped once again in Solomons, but will be heading out in a couple of days with our next stop in an anchorage and then on to Deltaville and Regatta Point Marina. We need to see the staff at Waterway Guide and also get our food stores up-to-snuff before really starting to travel every day.
As you know we go to Florida for the winter and spring. It's too cold up here and really nice and warm in FL (usually), and we can't resist the warmth. The distance from where we are now (Solomons, MD) is right around 1,000 miles to Palm Coast, FL where we will leave Diamond Girl for approximately 6 weeks so that we can visit family and friends in CA and OR. The trip takes us through some really delightful areas, and we will keep you up-to-date as to what's happening.

Glad to see you are on your way south. If you stop by Brunswick Landing we would enjoy visiting with you. Robert & Carolyn Wilson m/v Sea Island Girl.
Fantastic walk-through. I appreciate this post.
Hope that i can provide a resource for others with common interests to this blog. :)
There are a lot of places to see every time you go on a cruising adventure. Good idea on going to Florida to escape the cold.
