May 14, Monday – Day 17: Second day in Chesapeake City. Today we went to C & D Canal Museum, walked around town and checked out The Chesapeake Inn – a huge waterfront restaurant, bar and ballroom – but no hotel. We dinghied over to a boat with a Looper flag and talked to 2009 Loopers from Detroit on Monarch who enjoyed the Loop so much they are doing it again!
This map in the C&D Canal Museum shows how this 14 mile canal connects the two big bays.
May 15, Tuesday – Day 18: It rained all morning but it was a beautiful afternoon. We hung out on Rickshaw and enjoyed this quiet little harbor. There are ½ price pizzas tonight at the Chesapeake Inn, so we went early to see if we can meet any other Loopers for happy hour ;-) Plan worked – we had dinner with three other Looper couples – Bruce & Karen on Ookpik; Hampton& Connie on Snark; and Ron & Margie on Meander.

This huge ship was going up the C&D Canal while we were having our pizzas at the Chesapeake Inn.
Today we formally named our dinghy - -
 This 19 foot sailboat, Nessie, is doing the loop for the second time. Unfortunately the dinghy isn't on the boat - it was about 5 feet long. |  We're not sure what this is....it was a pontoon boat. The railing was cut off, a truck camper was attached then the rail was installed on top of the camper. |
