Sailing the Chesapeake

Given all the hurricanes this year, we’re not entirely sure what the cruising season holds. We left this week from Galesville and decided to wander the Chesapeake Bay for a while. The past several years, we’ve waited until it turned cold and then hurried south to get back into the warm. Not this year.

 

It’s still crab season on the Bay and the waterman are out in force with pots and floats demanding vigilance.

This guy provides the San Domingo Creek wake up call at 5am each day. We anchored here Tue to wait out a couple of days of unsettled winds from the tail end of Hurricane Maria. Today is supposed to be 20 gusting 30 but we’re pretty snug up in the creek so we may not see that much.

Tomorrow we’ll turn south a bit and head for Reedville, VA.
