Solomon Island Safe Harbor Zahnisers

From Indian Creek to the Patuxent River NH finds her way to the Solomon Islands. More than 150 rivers, streams and creeks provide fresh water to the Chesapeake Bay. It is the largest estuary in the U.S. As we leave Kilmarnock we cruise past the YMCA/APYC Camp Kekoka which is right around the corner from the McHugh’s. A very colorful campsite providing overnight camp experience for boys and girls all over Virginia and Maryland. 

The waters are a little choppy while on the Rappahannock River however once we make the turn up the bay it’s more pleasant.

Nandad enjoys his resting spot on the bow while Nana manages the helm. Our journey today is approximately 50 miles so we arrive at SH Zahnisers by 2pm. It is pouring rain , windy and cold. The restaurant at the marina is unfortunately closed on Tuesdays so we have a great dinner onboard - after Nandad watched some utube cooking demo! Nana was able to catch a short window to walk to the CBL - Chesapeake Biological laboratory and Calvert Marine Museum  and admire the many pretty homes along the way. The marina has new beautiful clean showers and free laundry.
