Day 45 Welcome to Maryland

As we passed the Potomac River this morning, we entered our 6th state, Maryland. There's a unmanned, kind of a lighthouse at the edge of the harbor. Very cool to be so close to one at sea. The morning was uneventful again - good weather, but a little warmer. One interesting observation was there's a destroyer sitting at the mouth of the Potomac. Not sure if it's been there since 911 or it's there just in case of a sinister attempt over 4th of July. Winds started picking up as the day progressed and so did the seas. Pulled into the Patuxent River where it is lined with tall cliffs. Beautiful! Headed to Solomons Island and anchored in a little area called...yes, again, Mill Creek. I guess they have a Mill  Creek in every river up here. It's not as idyllic as last night's Mill Creek, but it's charming and it will do until we head to Annapolis early tomorrow morning.
