A Beautiful Day on the Chesapeake

After holing up in the Bohemia River for an extra day (rainy, high winds, tornado warnings) we took off at dawn today and had a beautiful run down to the West River (just south of Annapolis). On the way, we watched a submarine come into harbor (the Coast Guard kept everyone from getting too close, but we could see enough). We anchored, took Mindy ashore, brought her back to the boat and still managed to get to a restaurant (Thursday's) in daylight. Shared a dozen oysters and a dozen crabs, and sat for several hours taking them apart. Photos of the harbor from our picnic table at Thursdays, and of Bill at the table.

There are small craft warnings for tomorrow, but only because of high gusts (no rain or thunderstorms, seas only 2 feet) so we may press on. It will probably take us at least 2 full days to get to our destination from here, so we will likely take it slow and plan to arrive at the marina on Monday instead of trying to get there by closing time (2PM) Saturday. Weather looks good through Monday, so we're just going to enjoy the ride!
