We spent yesterday motoring from Norfolk, VA to Solomon's Island, MD with our sails up for shade; we traveled a total of 55 miles. The Chesapeake was like a bath tub because it was so still and had no wind. We saw numerous jelly fish and sting rays, and we had lots of dragon fly hitch hikers. We sighted a large wooden ship while sailing, and we had to avoid four Navy warships that were practicing with live ammunition. When we arrived in Solomon's Island, we saw another large wooden ship. We walked to Stony's Seafood Restaurant for dinner and had soft serve ice cream for dessert across the street. It was 95 degrees and too hot to cook on the boat. Today we are enjoying relaxing by the pool. Later, we will head to town and visit the Solomon's Island Winey and bike around town.
