Annapolis to Norfolk

We ran from Lewes DE to Annapolis via the D and C canal. It's a 20 mile canal that connects the DE bay to Chesapeake Bay. Pretty much a smooth trip with the exception of the tossed salad Tom made for lunch. See he had a problem with one engine so with no warning he shut it down and put the well behaved engine in neutral. This left us bobbing around, well...like a cork in the waves. Fridge flew open and everything piled out on the floor. Grapes on the bottom. I guess we're having wine with that salad. The rest of the day was uneventful. Annapolis was beautiful. We were docked with the big boys. I'll load a pic of our boat neighbor. Of course we only met the crew.

On our way to Norfolk now. We're moving at about 26 kts with a nice following sea. The Chesapeake Bay is impressive. Tons of sailboats and not those MI sailors motoring along with wimpy engines. These guys have earned the right to claim Eco-superiority. They're actually under sail. It's so pretty and colorful.
