Day 253
We pulled up more than our anchor this morning when we
prepared to leave our anchorage.
This was another awesome day cruising on the Chesapeake
Bay, the water was almost flat. There is
a small craft advisory for the bay tomorrow so we will be secured in a marina
tonight.
This ship was cruising over 16 mph and created a 3-4 foot
wave, we cut it at an angle and handled it without a problem.
This dredge is keeping the shipping channel at the
required depth.
Beach front property?
I think I’ll pass.
The Turkey Point Light is a historic lighthouse at the
head of the Chesapeake Bay. Although only
a 35 foot tower, the 100 foot height of the bluffs on which it stands makes it
the third highest light off the water in
the bay. It is also known for the large
number of women who served as light keeper:
four of the ten known keepers, serving 89 of the 115 years the light was
manned.
We are staying at the Bohemia Yacht Basin Marina. We met friends that moved from Terre Haute,
IN to this area several years ago. We had a great visit on the boat, then went
out for pizza in Elkton, then a visit to
Chesapeake City on the way back.
