On Wednesday, July 1, we cruised from Crisfield across the Chesapeake to Solomons. The Calvert Cliffs loom in front of us as we approach the Patuxent River. The Cliffs were formed more than 15 million years ago, when a warm and shallow sea covered all of southern Maryland. We spent the first week socializing with all the friends we had made last summer. On July 7, our friends, Larry and Sue on M/V SueSeaQ IV arrived for a week. On July 15, our friends, Dave and Laurie on M/V Shangri-La arrived for several days. On July 18, our friends, Brenda and Geoff, stopped for the night on their way north and west by car. Su bought Brenda's folding bike, and several days later Jim bought a bike.....now we have transportation!
