Solomons is one of our favorite places. Did many overnight races from Annapolis and Screwpile regattas there, we have friends in the area, and we nearly always anchor in the cove on Cuckold/Mill Cr., up past the bridge, on the way to and from the Potomac and points south. Also spend the rare night or two at Zahnisers, when we really want a hot shower or some fresh veggies. We keep our boat in Annapolis.
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.
