In the Chesapeake!

An early start - just as the sun came up - and although the water was like glass all day (thank goodness) we fought the current the whole day. It was a long one - we originally planned to stop short of the C&D Canal, but managed to get there by 4 PM, so we pressed on. We finally anchored at just before 8 PM under a nearly full moon, in the Bohemia River just south of the C&D entrance on the Chesapeake side. So, about 13 hours underway, the whole time trying to navigate to the shallowest waters to reduce the effects of the current.
At peace!
Now snugly ensconced in our cabin, fortified by wine, hot food and electronic access to the world (note pix of Bill with his IPhone.) Tomorrow is an easy day to Annapolis, for some crabs at Cantlers, and a visit to the boat show on Monday. Life is good!

(PS - yesterday's blog incorrectly said Kammerman's marina was in Cape May. It's in Atlantic City, and we heartily recommend it.)
