Where's Rico ....

.... and what the heck is he doing? Marie Kenney, a friend from high school and on facebook, asked where I am. Marilyn and I are on vacation sailing on the Middle Cheasapeake Bay on our 36 foot Catalina sailboat the "Imagination" ( yes its a real boat! ) . We are currently in the Solomons, Maryland, it is on the western shore of the Cheasapeake and it is a center for all kinds of recreational boating. There are hundredes of boats here both sail and motor. If you go to the blog ricopaolino.blogspot.com in the left corner you will find a spot on google maps where I update where we are. A little more info on the places we have been. Oxford is a historic town on the Eastern shore of the Cheasapeake. Very sleepy town, no shopping or many other things, but get a night at a B&B there and rent a bike and just relax and have dinner it's kind of a place. Knapps Narrows ( Tilghman Island ) is a small village that is still a working fishing village. Most of the crabs you get on the Cheasapeake are caught there. You can hire out on a crab boat for a day or charter a boat for day of stripped bass fishing. But it one of the places that you can still see how they worked the bay as in days of old.

P.S. Marie sorry I could not answer on facebook. I am improvising an internet connection on my phone on the boat today.
