I was up at 0600. Barb and I went for an early walk around the Island. We departed Tangier Island at 0845. The wind was calm and the current was nearly slack so getting off the dock was easy. Chesapeake Bay was like a mill pond. A haze in the air limited visibility. We traveled at Beach Cruiser’s speed so we kept the RPM between 1200 to 1400 with an average speed of around 5.5 knots.
We arrived at Solomon’s Island at 1500. Both boats stopped at Calvert’s Marina to buy some fuel. We took on 100 gallons of diesel at $2.45/gallon ($245.00). We anchored in Mills Creel, about one half mile from Calvert’s. Barry and Barb anchored about ¼ mile further up the Creek. They launched their dinghy and ferried us to their boat for dinner. They loaned us their dinghy so that we wouldn’t have to lower our dinghy from topside. I was able to work on the internet for a while because we were able to pick up a WiFi signal.
