Solomons to St. Inigoes Creek on the St. Mary River/Potomac River

Beautiful day for a run to the Potomac.  Sun shining and warm with some wind in the morning (8 – 10) which allowed us to sail and motor with the tide and hit 7 knots for a good hour before the winds gave out.  Covered 42 nm in 7 hours and found a great anchorage on St. Inigoes Creek.  Plenty of room and good depth.  Very quiet among a few homes with the exception of a couple of barking dogs and some jet traffic from the naval air station at Patuxent.  Two flights of 4 fighters passed overhead at about 8 pm.  A spectacular sunset topped off the day.

We found the pinnacle, Maryland Dove, at dock in her home port, St. Mary, on our way up the St. Mary River to St. Inigoes Creek.
