Today we made our way to the Solomons on the Patuxent River. About 18 miles up the Chesapeake from Tangier we encountered a shipwreck a few hundred yards off the shipping lane. As you can see by the holes rusted through the hull this ship has been here a long, long time. We also sounded our deepest water of the trip so far at 125 ft. Weather today was good and so were the seas. We are now anchored in the Patuxent River where we have taken the dinghy in to see the streets of Solomons. People quit often want to spell our last name this way. Oysters, clams, and fish were processed, canned and shipped on ice from here in the Solomons earlier years. This is a beautiful old maritime settlement.
