We spent a couple of nights at Solomons Island, Maryland on
the Patuxtent River. Alexis’ first
cousin, Jeff, and his wife, Anne, live in nearby Leonardtown, MD. They joined us for dinner and lent us a car,
so we provisioned and had a grand time catching up. Maryland is rich in fishing history, and we
toured the maritime museum in Solomons.
The area reminds me of Bayou Country with all the commercial fishing
vessels. We are now underway to Annapolis,
where we will meet Rick and Eva from Calypso,
who we first met in the Bahamas. Eva is
a graduate of Loyola Law School, as am I, and is back at work after her
sabbatical. I am greatly interested in
how she is coping!
