Episode 39 - Coast Guard Chases Boat away from Bridge!

Today’s travels took us from Annapolis and up through the north end of the Chesapeake Bay before arriving at Chesapeake City. Our travels were 52.4 nautical miles, and we had departed at 7:30 am, arriving at 2:30 pm that afternoon.
After arriving at Chesapeake City, we were shocked to find that it was a very popular destination. It was a Sunday afternoon, and it was filled with boats and people. Also, we were surprised to find that the docking is a bit challenging due to an unseen current that flows below the surface. We did not have any trouble, but they do send over a few dockhands to assist in tying up the boat. Following securing the boat, we headed into town for a bit of a tour!

That looked like a pretty nice cruise with calm waters.

The annual 4.4 mile Great Chesapeake Bay Swim begins at Sandy Point State Park, north of Annapolis, proceeds between the two spans of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and ends on Kent Island.

Why were there swimmers in the water? Was it divers searching for something or was it closed off for a leg of a triathlon?

It was the great Chesapeake Swim.
