We were in Spring Cove in Solomons. The owner, Trevor, turned the marina over to his son but has an interesting story. He and his brother lived in South Africa. They built a boat to sail around the world. They planned on working at ports to fund their trip. He met a girl in Australia whose family did the same thing. After working on a farm for several months, he proposed to the girl. She left with them, got to Solomon’s, married there and stayed.
If you have a bike with you, don’t ride across the bridge when traffic is heavy. The shoulder is filled with debris and the concrete barriers aren’t very high.

Solomons! Back in the 1970s and early 80s, my brother-in-law was in the Navy and every summer we'd rent a house at the Naval Recreation Center there. Another brother-in-law had a cabin cruiser docked at Annapolis that he sailed over, a couple years. That was fun! Fishing on the Bay, crabbing at night off the pier, etc. Nice place, the Chesapeake.

You are absolutely right about that. I would never race on a boat that drank before or during the racing. Things happen fast, and bad stuff can happen very fast. Last thing you want to be around is a drunk bowman end for ending a 10' or longer metal pole in a good wind.
"I'm a drinker with a sailing problem" is a label some wear all too proudly.

I'm actually glad the Patriots got another win last night (not that I would have deeply minded them losing).

I achieved legend status on my local trail, probably because I use it mainly in the winter and others hibernate.

A group of us stopped at a convenience store and as we were preparing to leave, my wife shows me something and asked if someone had lost something. It was a jockey wheel. Immediately, everyone began scrutinizing their rear derailleurs but it wasn't ours so it was some other person that had a bad day.
But... it gave me an idea. I may start carrying a few small worn out parts in my pocket just to throw out at our rest stops to watch the excitement.

It will work. To continue my excessive series of sailing posts, a favorite regatta prank is to hide a clevis pin & ring or something in one of the competition’s sails. When they hoist it the next morning the hardware hits the deck and forces a rig inspection and much terror. Rig failures can kill people and sink boats.
I heartily approve.
