Nice job guys. BTW, I grew up around there. Bear Creek, Fort McHenry, Inner Harbor.

Hey Douglas! Thanks for watching and commenting. We are always glad to hear from you. How fun that you grew up in the area near the canal. It's beautiful up there! You take care of yourself!

Hello!!!! How are you guys? It was a great episode. I have to admit that I had no idea about that the Chesapeake and Delaware canal. I crossed those bridges many times without realizing what I was crossing 😩😜shame on me!! Thank you again for such a great job. Question: I see Brown always fighting the bugs( I am the same way) I thought that being so far from the coast you will be free of them. I did not realize it is something that comes with the life on the boat? I never had that problem while sailing. Maybe it is the areas were you sail? Let me know what you think? Please stay safe. Cheers from Canary Islands ❤️

Hola Carlos!! So good to hear from you and trust you and your family are well. Thank you for your comment. We didn't know anything either until doing research before going through. It's such a fascinating waterway! We crossed the canal many times too and never had an idea of what was below us or the history of the bridges! As for the bugs...it totally depends on where we are and the wind. If there is no wind, the bugs can be bad even off shore. If there is wind, we rarely have issues with the flies and bugs. That's the general rule of thumb pretty much for everywhere we have been....

Thanks for teaching about the history…I wonder if a roof designed to collect rainwater could be designed to feed water into the water maker…or a purification system…or collect water from all of the flat surfaces…

[@SailingBlownAway]

Thanks for watching and your comment. For sure a better designed roof would work!! Of course purification is still necessary!

Jeez I hope you do get lots of KZbin Gold but NOT by kissing the ground. :) Thanks for another great video taking us along on your adventures.

Hey Tony!! It's great to read your comment. Thank you so much for watching and for your constant encouragement! We hope you are well.

Hope you had some time to stop by our hometown, Havre de Grace!! So much history, the town lost the bid to be the CAPITAL OF THE USA by ONE VOTE and was also sacked and burned by The British in the War of 1812! Beautiful town….

[@SailingBlownAway]

We didn’t get there but it’s on my list next time we get to the Chesapeake. We love the history you have shared. Incredible!! Can’t wait to see it!!

... Rock Hall/Haven/Swan Creek are much better anchorages ... IMHO ... good full service marina's ( w/ bicycles) ... full service local supermarket ... and 10-12 good resturants ... all with-in walking/bicycling distance ...

[@SailingBlownAway]

Thanks for your input. Everyone looks for something different in an anchorage and thankfully we have a lot of choice on the Chesapeake.
