Washington Channel anchorage from Washington Monument(marina where we weathered hurricane on left)

On the Chesapeake Bay, there is rarely a lull in traffic and constant vigilance is necessary.

Our wild sailing day on the Potomac River.

The best sail we've had in the Chesapeake Bay area was on the Potomac River in September.

W.Wilson Bridge:Potomac River, gateway to Wash.D.C. 50 ft clearance. Will open 10pm-7am weekends

Boats anchored in Smoots Cove, Potomac awaiting bridge opening appt. Better hours on weekends.

"Weather window" day near Annapolis still a lot of wind. 35 knot winds on day before.

Schooner racing Baltimore to Norfolk.

CAVU sailed with us for three days and then, sadly for us, turned back toward Rock Hall.
