Relaxing in Chesapeake City

Sunday, Sept 7^th – The front that came through cooled down the temperature nicely, we relaxed reading in the cockpit and planning our next move down the Chesapeake. While looking at our loose agenda, we came to the realization that it took three weeks to travel the 600nm from Oswego, NY to here, Chesapeake City…we moved a lot quicker than we needed to. Our boys are coming to visit us in Annapolis the weekend of October 4^th, so we have three weeks to spend exploring the north end of Chesapeake Bay before arriving in Annapolis, 50nm away. It truly is time to relax! That being said, our blogs will be much shorter as I don’t want to bore everyone with the minutia of what we cooked for dinner each night.

Large ship through the C&D Canal

While sitting at the Tiki Bar, chatting with Steve and Linda, this huge boat came through the C&D canal…
what a crazy thing to see when you’re not expecting it…we would have hated to meet up with it while
transiting the canal. On the nice weekends, CC is packed with boats and cars coming in for lunch. Steve and Linda dropped by our boat on their way out and stayed a while to chat.

We stayed the extra night in Chesapeake City to have dinner at The Bayard since we had to cancel the night before when the thunder storm came through.

We planned our departure Monday for slack tide (at the point the tide changes from low to high and the water is still with no current) around 10:00.
