Anchored at 8:50 PM off the Governor Thomas Veasey Farm in Veasey Cove on the Bohemia River. The Farm is for sale. 400 acres. Original farmhouse dating back to the 1700's. No subdivision allowed. $3.5 Million. As the broker's ad says: It's not just real estate, it's a lifestyle.

Though we arrived and anchored in the dark, it was a good decision to press on through the C&D Canal. The anchorage at Reedy Point on the East side of the C&D had four boats in it as we passed, but looked uncomfortable. Literally, stuck in the Bay.

We started the C&D at 6.4 knots but within half and hour we were doing 8 and then 9.4 as the current shifted in our favor.

Overall it was a great day that just flew by. I twice checked to be sure the clocks weren't broken since I couldn't believe how fast the day went. Delaware Bay dead flat. The current was favorable. And we had enough wind to motorsail a good part if the way.

Our first Chesapeake bay sunset.

It's now hard to leave Veasey Cove for Baltimore. It's a pretty spot.

But the call of the Patapsco has been heard.
