May 13, Sunday – Day 16: We headed out early and said a sad goodbye to the Chesapeake Bay. We hope to come back and spend more time exploring someday – it is an awesome cruising area. It is rich in history, scenery, entertainment and diversity. We only traveled 24 miles and are now anchored at Chesapeake City, just off the C & D (Chesapeake & Delaware) Canal. This is a cute historic town with lots of shops and a huge waterfront restaurant with live entertainment. The town was founded in the early 1800s when the canal was built. We expect to be here for a couple of days as there is an 80% chance of rain for Monday and Tuesday.
 The bay is getting narrower and so is the channel. We have to share it with some very big ships. But we knew this ship was coming before we could even see it. See next photo.......  |  Our AIS (Automatic Identification System) warned us that in 1:39 minutes we would pass dangerously close (235 feet) of GEORGIOS S! Here is our track since May 2nd. So far we have covered 338 nm (389 miles). Hard to believe we are only 4 travel days from NYC! |
