Tuesday May 27, 2025-Thursday May 29, 2025 Tuesday A calm start to our somewhat long day was a welcome relief. The bay was almost like glass, the air stood still, and these insects that look like mosquitoes—Chironomus crassicaudatus, otherwise known as thick-skinned midges—were everywhere! They don’t bite, but they are incredibly annoying. One even triedContinue reading “Day 62, 63 & 64 Rock Hall, MD to Chesapeake City, MD to Delaware City, DE to Cape May, NJ”

Days 49-51 Crisfield, MD to Solomon’s Island, MD
Wednesday-Friday May 14-16, 2025 As we pulled up anchor and departed Crisfield, MD, the water lay flat as glass, barely a ripple in sight—only the gentle hum of the engines breaking the morning silence.
