Our Voyages

Chesapeak Bay

From late April to the beginning of June we cruised up the Chesapeake Bay. Our first ports of call were along the James and York Rivers to visit the colonial estates and towns just as the colonists did, by sailing ship. We made our way up the vast Potomac to Mt. Vernon, Alexandria and then Washington. We swept back down the river visiting St. Mary's City before reentering the Bay on our way to Solomon's Island and on to Annapolis. Baltimore and a little town called North East at the very top of the great Chesapeake Bay.  There is so much to see and do it's hard to believe we spent 8 weeks on the Bay and her tributaries and hardly scratched the surface.
