Chesapeake Bay

Day:  226 - 266
Statutory Miles Covered:  3,023

Since we didn't spend much time in the Chesapeake on our way north, we wanted to be sure that we took the time on our way home to get to know this amazing place a bit better.  Tomorrow we leave Washington DC taking a couple of days to reach the mouth of the Potomac and make way for Charleston. By the time we reach the ICW again, we will have spent 40+ days and traveled over 500 miles in the bay - home to some of the prettiest places we have stopped on this trip.



Upper Chesapeake stops included Havre de Grace, Georgetown, Rock Hall, St. Michaels and a few gorgeous anchorages.



Annapolis which is always a favorite stop - brought some excitement with the potential landfall of Juaquin, a Navy Football game,  reconnecting with Meanders for the boat shows and perhaps, best of all, a visit from the Adams & Barcomb's as they gathered and prepared for Colette & Will's wedding.



Washington DC:  Not our first visit to DC, but a very different one, in that we really got into the city streets and spent a lot of time visiting the monuments and museums.  Seeing the cities by foot has been one of the greatest unexpected experiences of this trip for us.  You really get a feel for where you are when you get rid of your car!
