we left Back Creek, Solomons Island at first light, the oyster boats were out already working
we left with SNOWBIRD, Janine and Dave, from southern Ontario, originally from Vancouver
later we found out that they sailed the French Canals, the Med, crossed the Atlantic Ocean, up the ICW, etc. and now heading down the ICW for the Bahamas once again
these are the crab pots markers that we try and avoid , very low in the water
these are the ones we can see easier and wish all of the markers look like this
the last of the SW swells
we thought this schooner was quite low in the water
Point No Point Lighthouse, it is not on a point of land, so therefore the name
we are seeing our first pelicans
ocean fishing boat returning,…… on our charts we are seeing markings showing Fishing Haven,
what I found out is, and they are all different …it is Outdoor Recreational Area Fishing ….good for catching for example, fluke, stripped bass, bluefish, atlantic croaker …. these are man made fishing havens, one of them is ….. bottom is sand and silty sand, reef material is 2 very large sunk barges, with a long row of woodrow wilson rubble,(what in heck is that), that is placed between the barges, depth is 30-35 ft, and covers
1,059 acres
this day turned out so beautiful, we even took turns up on the foredeck, with a drink in hand and soaked up the sun
a beautiful day on the water, 61 nm in 10 hours
