October 2002: Chesapeake Bay

We took a few days to recover from our offshore sailing past New Jersey in Delaware City at the head of Delaware Bay. Then we sailed thru the D and C canal to the Chesapeake. From there Dave drove to the Annapolis Boat Show with Ben Allen. Then we all drove to Baltimore to meet Dani and Don Wood

In downtown Annapolis, the houses are rainbow colors and the streets emanate from the old State House like the spokes of a wheel.

After promising the Allens a return visit in the spring, we headed down the bay, under the Bay Bridge to St Michaels

The local St. Michael's fishing fleet. The watermen's boats are longer and flatter than those of lobstermen in New England.

Then down the Bay again to Solomons Island, MD

Have a few sailboats! Solomons is a huge sailing center. We finally started to see other cruisers.


Chrisfield
In Crisfield, MD, we had some extra time, so Dave made the curtains for the boat.

Crisfield is a big fishing town.

Tangier Island MD is another fishing village. These crab shacks are built on pilings on the water that lines the channel.

Here families use golf carts instead of cars and still speak with an Elizabethan accent added to the Virginia drawl.
