Chesapeake City, MD

We took our time leaving on Thursday, June 23 because we planned a short cruise to a Bohemia River anchorage. It was quite overcast and somewhat foggy while I took Archie for another long walk on the grounds of the Maryland Yacht Club.



After a light lunch of clam chowder and crackers we continued our journey north. The bay was very calm but it was chilly and still damp from the rains from the night before.



So we bundled up and stayed cozy on the flybridge watching the January 6 hearings on the IPAD.  As we proceeded we decided to change our destination to Chesapeake City. The Bohemia River anchorage offered no convenient place to take Archie on land to relieve himself and Chesapeake City was just another 30 minutes further.  We entered the C&D Canal which will eventually bring us to Delaware City and the entrance to the Delaware Bay.



Halfway through the C&D Canal we arrived at Chesapeake City where we were pleased to see there was space on the town dock.  Boaters can stay for free for 24 hours and just pay $15 for electric and $10 for water.  We tied up in front of a party boat and got set up for the evening.  Afterwards we took Archie for a walk through this charming town nestled under a huge bridge that spans the canal.







I made pork tenderloin for dinner and afterwards while I did the dishes Jonny took Archie for another walk.  He returned with a lovely bouquet of hydrangeas for me!



We had another quiet night reading and watching TV and were glad that the music from the nearby waterfront restaurant ended by 9 pm.
