When we were able to escape the muck in Tangier we headed out the inlet and into the bay again, resuming our favorite game, dodging container ships. Note that all the ships appear to be heading north. Between ships we started getting a cell signal and saw that hurricane Dorian had abandoned Alabama and was now heading up the very coast we were headed towards. After some quick negotiations we decided that was too much adventure for us, and we headed back north, again.
We got back to Solomons Island again, initially staying at the floating dock where the transient boats go. Well the ducks must have had a party on the dock after we went to sleep, because when we woke up they had left us this. I didn't realize ducks were so... prolific.
If Dorian approached closely we would be kicked off the floating dock, so we picked up a slip off one of the fixed docks one up from the restaurant, warping in again without any help from the shore. I have a few smudges to buff out off the sides, but it was better than bumping into another boat. Since we don't have a rub rail for this sort of thing I'm thinking of getting some of those flat fenders for the job. We settled in for several days while Dorian passed.
