July 30 – Bohemian Bay Yacht Harbor<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We left Chesapeake Beach this morning at 6:30 am. Our dock neighbor Tami came down to see us off. That was a nice farewell from a new friend.<\/p>\n

The weather forecast was for winds from the north below 10 knots with occasional gusts into the teens. These winds created whitecaps & wave patterns that met us head on as we travelled north up the bay. It resulted in a lumpy ride but I’d rather meet waves head on then have them coming at us on our port or starboard side. I like rock n roll but not in a boat!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We passed under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge which is actually a twinned structure with each bridge carrying traffic in a single direction. It is very impressive from the water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today was a beautiful day for sailing & through the morning & afternoon we saw dozens of sailboats out enjoying the wind & sunny weather. I cannot recall ever seeing so many sailboats on the water in one day.<\/p>\n

Today we also passed some important milestones. First of all, we have now travelled the Chesapeake Bay from “bottom to top” &, more importantly, the first can of Spam on this boat was consumed for our lunch!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ed & I dined on a gourmet luncheon comprised of Spam, processed cheese slices & Minute Rice – slathered in yellow mustard & all wrapped up in a soft tortilla! Talk about healthy eating-we know how to do it up right.<\/p>\n

We arrived at the marina in Bohemian Bay at 4:30pm. It took us 10 hours to travel 61 nm. Not bad considering that we were heading into the wind & waves for virtually the entire journey.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a half moon tonight & we are retiring early. Tomorrow is a big day – we will get up at 5:00am for an early start to travel through the Chesapeake & Delaware (C&D) Canal & then on to Cape May, NJ.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
