The voyage is over. We had two and 3/4 uneventful days motor sailing up the Chesapeake. When we got to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, which is only about 5 miles from our home dock the winds picked up to 20 kts and the direction about 60-70 degrees off the bow. The famous Chesapeake Bay chop built up quickly and we pounded the last few miles home, but home we got to. We are now what the cruising world calls dirt-dwellers. It does feel nice to take a shower on demand and sleep in a bed that is larger than the small twin we have been sleeping on and with a better mattress.
How was the trip you may ask—GREAT. We had a ball and yes we are prepared to do it again so stay tuned for further developments.
