Deltaville to Ingram Bay to Solomons, MD

Day #579; Loop Miles to Date = 6,536

We continue our march northward…in spite of the blustery weather. We had a short run on Tuesday to Ingram Bay. It was windy and about as rough on the water as we expected, but not quite as bad as Monday. We only had about 25 miles to go, so we decided to gut it out and go for it. It wasn’t perfect, but again it was manageable.

We found Ingram Bay to be a wonderful, rustic, and friendly marina. Nothing fancy – it’s out in the middle of nowhere, but exceedingly peaceful. We’re glad we made the stop and checked it out. We also ran into Hour Plan (Jim and A.C) who we met at Coinjock, and again in Hampton. We had a nice visit with them in the sunshine, sitting at a picnic table right on the dock…very pleasant!

 

That gap in the trees is the entrance to Ingram Bay Marina...this the view from our cockpit. You can see how calm and peaceful it is in here. A welcome respite from the rough conditions of the past 2 days.

And now as this entry is being penned, we are on our way to Solomons, MD. It will be another stop at Calvert Marina, a place we used 3 or 4 times last summer as we wandered around the Chesapeake. We expect to be there just one night, and then continue on. Today is a MUCH nicer travel day. We had some rollers and sloppy conditions early this morning, but we just passed the Potomac, and are now in very comfortable conditions with a light breeze on our stern.
 

Thanks for reading…stay tuned…
