Awoke early this morning to the wild screeching of gulls and terns on the docks; apparently it is mating season and there was a lot of seabird sex underway. We took an early morning walking tour of Crisfield and discovered that the town is down on its heels. We passed many empty storefronts and dilapidated buildings, and few people were about on Friday morning. Our marina is huge and mostly empty - appears to be an attempt by the state to build business in the community. There do seem to be  several thriving businesses around the crabbing industry.

After an early morning rain, the sky remained cloudy and the winds light. We are heading for Solomons tonight and home tomorrow .
