| Another calm, flat day...until it wasn't! |
Another long travel day on The Lower Place! We threw off the lines at Calvert Marina,
Solomon, MD Friday morning at 6:49AM!!
Since Thursday was an 80 mile day I simply “assumed” Friday would be a
little shorter. BUT…the water was calm,
light wind, clear skies…why not keep cruising?
While I was at the helm (around 1:00) the wind shifted…water
churned…clouds thickened..uh-oh!! The
boat started rolling with the waves – Charlie appeared on the fly bridge
asking, “What did you do?!” Of course, I
have that kind of power!! LOL!!
Needless to say, the next couple hours were a little
different than we expected. I took a nap – lying over an ice chest – trying to
keep everything “on the inside”…UGH!!! Sorry no pictures!!
Soon we turned off the Chesapeake and onto Elk River bringing much
calmer water! Thank you Jesus!!!
A bottle of Gatorade and a stick of ginger gum and I was
good as new!! Then we dropped anchor in
Chesapeake City, MD anchorage at 7:30PM…103 miles later!! Not.Even.Kidding!! I am exhausted and not the happiest girl to
hear we will depart at 6:20AM Saturday!!!
HUH???

| Chesapeake Bay Bridge spans the width at 3.8 miles-WOW! |
Other than that – it was a cruise-filled Friday and the
adventure of America’s Great Loop continues.
Lord, help others only see Jesus in me…’cause the “me” part isn’t so
shiny right now!!
God Bless!!
