From Captain Sean:

Chesapeake Day 5:  Today was the 'formal' dining room brunch of the cruise. We had already decided that the best wind was in the afternoon, so we were going to wait to leave until 1300 (ok, so it was 1400).  

Breakfast aboard was grand!

Our plan worked perfectly and we had some of the best sailing of the trip with steady winds, flat water, and a wind angle that let us point all the way to Love Point. 

 

Heading north towards Swan Creek
under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

A favorite view of the bridge.

The visibility was poor, the rain heavy at times.

The downside of the plan is that we did get in some rain, but the original forecast had us motoring in the rain all day, so this was much better.  The rain cleared enough for us to navigate the shallow waters of Swan Creek, but then pounded again while Allen Murphy was catching the mooring ball. We were originally going to convert my mooring ball reservation (a mistake) to a dock slip, but with the rain and the office being closed we just stayed on the ball. We had some dinner and then Cameron Kasey Stull absolutely destroyed Murph and I in a game of Dominion.

Our route, Annapolis to Swan Creek.
