And it's south we go......

Tuesday was the day we headed out of Spa Creek for ports and anchorages south of Annapolis.  The weather was getting cold so we had to say our goodbyes and point the bows to the bottom of the Chesapeake.  We are getting ready to head into the ICW tomorrow but over the last few days we have seen some interesting things, anchored in some Creeks with weird names and seem all sorts of life........human and otherwise!

We have been either in or by points of interest such as:


  • Antipoison Creek
  • The 12 Mill Creeks that exist on the Chesapeake Bay!
  • Wolf Trap Point
  • Windmill Point
  • Mobjack Bay
  • Point No Point
You name it and we have probably seen it..........how about this??!!

Anyone for water skying??

Or you could go  back to reality and see this a couple of nautical miles down the bay......

Not quite as fast but very cool...

Coming out of Little Bay this morning we had to dodge some fish traps and the Waterman were working away early to get their fill of the fish.  This trap was right in the middle of the channel.  Go figure.....


Today after a good sail for the first part of the day we pulled into Norfolk to get ready to head down the ICW and The Dismal Swamp.  But first........yep, they had to get this guy out of the channel for us!!

Size matters.....right across from our anchorage
By total coincidence we left Annapolis this year on the same day that we pulled out of the area with Grey Hound last year.  We have sailed more this time and after a long day we jumped into the shower and felt clean for dinner.........how very nice!!
