Well sadly Old Glory did not survive the strong winds we went through getting up Delaware Bay. I was thinking of retiring it before the storm made my decision for me.
We enjoyed our two night stay at the Granary Marina in Fredericksburg, MD.
MV Simple Life was safely tied in her slip
The marina was empty as it was mid-November.
The sun was setting on the Sassafras River so that meant it was Happy Hour @ the Granary Restaurant.
It was a cold walk and Kelly was telling me to hurry it up. Restaurant has a great outer deck overlooking the marina & river.
I loved that someone bolted an old dead tree to the top of a marina piling and put an eagle’s nest on top.
Rather than getting underway before sunrise we slept in and took our time leaving.
Soon we were making our way down the sinuous 10 mile stretch of the Sassafras river to the Chesapeake Bay.
When we came in the river at night we had to dodge these fish weirs that extend out from the banks. Easy to spot this morning…
Heading down the Chesapeake we passed a huge car carrier called the Triton Leader.
The dogs were happy that today’s leg of our journey was calm and flat.
Soon we were passing under the famous Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
Soon we were anchored behind the Navy Bridge. We had the whole anchorage to ourselves.
W02L006 (Leg 6 of our second winter living aboard) looked something like this.
