Some of the ships waiting in front of the bridge at Annapolis.
Route 50 Bridge at Annapolis. We could drive from this bridge on Rt. 50 all the way home to Cincinnati.
This is the view from our anchorage on Cabin John Creeek looking out to the Elk River.
Yesterday we left Breezy Point, Maryland and continued north on the Chesapeake at 6:30 A.M. I think John was a little sad to leave this harbor. He and the owner Mike really hit it off. They had a lot in common and enjoyed talking to one another. But, it was time to move on. We saw 11 ships on the south side of the bridge at Annapolis. Only 2 of them were moving; the rest were waiting for a pilot to guide them in to Baltimore Harbor. We had only 1 foot seas and little wind. which never happened. It was hazy all day with the threat of thunderstorms which never happened. We decided to anchor out in Cabin John Creek off of the Elk River. We had to change anchors from a plow to a Danforth which took care of our anchoring issue. What a lovely place to anchor. We only had about 6 feet of water, but that is enough, and we were the only people in the whole creek. The water was calm in the creek all night long. That's the best John has slept at anchor in a long time. This morning, when we got out to the Elk River, there was a fair amount of wind and 2 foot seas.
We only traveled as far as Chesapeake City free dock. We arrived here at 8:30 this morning and walked into town. We had breakfast at the Cafe and stopped to talk to a very friendly lady who lives here. She wanted us to buy the house a couple of doors from hers. She said there is plenty of room for your grandchildren to come visit. The area is beautiful.
Last night we had no cell or Internet service, but here we are good to go.
