The grey skies continue and under scattered showers we pull away from the dock at St Michaels and head back into the Miles River. At the mouth of the Miles, we head south towards Poplar Island and the shortcut through Poplar Narrows. Through the Narrows, we reach Tilghman Island and decide to take yet another shortcut through Knapps Narrows at the north end of Tilghman Island. This saves about 6-8 miles to round Blackwalnut Point and enter into the Choptank River. On the eastern side of the Narrows, we enter the Choptank and turn north into Harris Creek where we anchor in a small but pretty cove: Dun Cove.

This morning, we woke up to some sun (what is that bright thing in the sky?) and I was able to take a few pictures of the cove. The few houses appeared to be farm houses. This farm is a the northern end of the cove.
This house was to our port side.
Today we decide to move further south and visit Solomons Island, one of the most popular cruising destinations on the Western Shore. Once a hardscrabble fishing, crabbing, oystering and boatbuilding center, Solomons was discovered by the boating crowd in the late 1970's. It is now a yachting center filled with marinas, boatyards and seafood restaurants. We tie up at Zahnisers Yachting Center close to the center of town and settle down for the usuals.
