Friday, May 9, 2014 – 10:30PM – Leg 26/Day 40 – 37.4 Miles It was another absolutely perfect day on the bay. I have been sitting out all night enjoying the slight breeze and the evening quiet. I almost forgot to do my log tonight I have been so relaxed. I crossed into Maryland today so that officially completes half a dozen states in my travels. I am anchored in St....

Thursday, May 8, 2014 – 6:00PM – Leg 25/Day 39 – 24.0 Miles I don’t know if it gets any more perfect on Chesapeake Bay than it was today. It was warm and I couldn’t believe how calm the water was. The temperature got up to about 90 with the sun just a blazing all day. In the morning it was frying the right side of my face and then in the afternoon the...

Wednesday, May 7, 2014 – 7:30PM – Leg 24/Day 38 – 31.9 (38.1) Miles I am so glad that I waited to go through Norfolk until morning.

The biggest ships I have ever seen and...

Saturday, I went over to Kitty Hawk and spent most of the day. They have a small museum complex with lots of information about the Wright Brothers first flight. The history is amazing...

Friday, May 2, 2014 – 9:00PM – Leg 21/Day 33 – 43.2 Miles A more perfect day could not be had. It was clear and cool in the morning, some clouds as the boat sailed north from Cape Hatteras, and a dusting of rain a little after I arrived. The sunset was gorgeous and the marina is top notch; cape style and beautiful. I think the open water today was a lot more fun as...
