Chesapeake Bay, VA; May 2, 2011

This is the Chesapeake Bay.
It's the second biggest body of water we've ever been on.
Very beautiful.

We started at Norfolk, Virginia and are currently at Deltaville.
  • Chesapeake Bay is 200 miles long and the average dept is 21 feet ! 
  • Most of the Bay is extremely shallow and a person 6 feet tall could wade through over 7000,000 acres.
  • Course, there are a few deep shipping channels over 100 feet deep so ships can get to the ports.
  •  It's interesting to learn about Chesapeake Bay!


At anchor we watched jellyfish all around the boat. 
It was amazing to see and I tried to get video.
