I just got in from my Honeymoon. We cruised my boat up to Solomon's Island and stayed at a nice Bed and Breakfast called Backcreek Inn.
The trip was wonderful. The B&B was very nice and it got us off of the boat for two really hot days. Yesterday was a hot one too but we did the best that we could with it.
Today was saw dolphins off of St. Georges Point, MD in the Potomac River. It is hard to believe that they were 8 miles from the mouth of the Potomac River but it was very interesting to see.
No major issues during the trip, thank God. Noticed some black stuff in the bilge when I finally got into the dock and I have a feeling that it could be soot from the diesel exhaust. It was a bit warm when I discovered it but I cleaned the mess out of the bilge (it was just a few black splotches in the bilge smaller than a dime and only a few of them). I guess I will have to check out the exhaust system to figure out where it came from. The engine ran great and I temp held good but I did run the engine over 12 hours in the last 2 days (no wind and time constraints stink!).
I will post a few pics from the trip. I highly suggest the B&B. It had a slip included in the price and the slip was plenty wide and had about 8 feet of water at low tide!
