Pulled out of the Baltimore Harbor and turned the Honey Queen North. Our destination, 42 miles away was the Sassafras River. With the wind in our nose most of the day, and current against us, 6 hours later we reached our anchorage. This far north in the Chesapeake, and in a river, too, we found the water was as fresh as the lakes back home in Louisiana and Arkansas. The landscape was similar folks enjoy the water skiing and tubing just like we do in the South.
In the July heat, the temps and humidity were sweltering, so when we got the anchor set, we bailed off the swim platform and enjoyed the cool water.
Amanda pulled together a fabulous pasta dinner in the middle of the basin and then we called it a night. By far the hottest night of our trip, we ran the generator and A/C for awhile, trying to get some relief. We are so spoiled by the air conditioning.
