Bohemia River, MD

The morning of Monday, May 28 started out quite chilly so Jon thought we would cruise from down below in the saloon, the first time on this journey.  But after almost an hour of tinkering, he couldn’t get either of the remotes to work which would have allowed him to fully use the chart plotter and auto pilot from the saloon.   It was especially frustrating for Jon because he had tested both remotes before we left Miami and they both were working then.  While he struggled with this, Lynn updated the blog. 

So we cruised from the flybridge and bundled up to keep warm.  Lynn actually wore 2 shirts, a sweatshirt, and a wind breaker along with a blanket covering her legs. This conveniently served as a nesting spot for Georgio to snuggle in for most of the day.

We cruised under the dramatic bridge in Annapolis  and through the top of the Chesapeake which gets quite narrow with beautifully wooded hills lining the shoreline Fortunately, it was pretty smooth “sailing” with only a  moderate amount of boat traffic on this chilly Memorial Day.   

After almost 7 hours, we found a quiet anchorage at the mouth of the Bohemia River where the waters were dead calm.

Jonny made a chicken stir fry for dinner using the bok choy we bought at the farmer’s market while Lynn blocked the baby blanket she’s been knitting for her cousin in Philly who just had a baby.  Endless hours of cruising provides lots of time for projects!

 We’ll be in Philly in two days where we’re so looking forward to spending a week visiting with Stephanie!
