Day Four

The wind and rain came up last night while we were anchored in St. Leonard's Creek.  The anchor held well, but I was still up half the night listening to the wind howl through the trees and watching the tree line swing back and forth as Ca Ira hunted for her anchor.  The wind let up a little with daybreak and the rain stopped about 10 AM, so we motored to the mouth of the Patuxent.  The Chesapeake looked cold, wet, and windy, so we turned around and motored back to Solomons Island and got a slip for the night.  We borrowed some bikes from the marina and rode around town and had a great seafood dinner at a restaurant.  The marina's wireless is allowing me to upload photos today and connect to the outside world:)
