We see light at the end of the tunnel.  It's 1:30pm, Tuesday.  We are just south of the mouth of the Patuxant River (entrance to Solomon's).  We anchored on a one of my favorite creeks last night - Dymer Creek.  It is about 5 miles north of the mouth of the Rappahannock River.  It was a very peaceful evening and night.  The temperature only got down into the high 40s or low 50s so it was comfortable sleeping. This morning, we weighed the anchor just after 7 and were underway.  We have been reading forecasts for a strong cold front moving into the area Wednesday night and Thursday. Preceding it (tomorrow) the weather should be a little rainy with some possible thunderstorms.  Today is bright and sunny (but windless).  So the plan for today is to make it a long one and make it into Annapolis.  We will tie up at the Annapolis City Marina (the regular).  We are calculating we will arrive around 9pm.  Tomorrow will (should) be a short/easy motor/sail up to our Baltimore home port.  Needless to say, we are all getting excited to be home.

It's 10:30pm.  We got to Annapolis at 9pm, tied up at the Annapolis City Marina, and dashed over to the Boatyard Cafe for dinner.  It's nice to have heat again.  Plan to leave around 9am and be in Baltimore around 1pm.  Plan for me is to catch a ride with Captain Phil up to Joan's sister Teresa and husband Robert's house tomorrow evening. I'll stay over there tomorrow night and Joan will drive down and pick me up Thursday. 

I'll post recent photos tomorrow night when I have wifi.
