June 1- We left Rock Hall marina at 9:00 am (Mist, Something Special and us) heading up the Chesapeake Bay to the C & D Canal today. It is another lovely hot day and the Bay is flat again for our run. We passed a tall ship heading south that was 177 ft long, under power no sails up but he was a beautiful ship just the same. We have been hearing booms as we`ve been running and we think the military are doing exercises somewhere. We arrived at Chesapeake City and tried to get into their free dock but unfortunately we got stuck going in twice so we got out of there and headed down another 10 miles to a marina called Chesapeake North, It was not much of a marina but served its purpose. The docks needed repair, the pool was locked up and needed to be skimmed. They had one section of their dock leading up to the pool baracaded off as it was that rotten. We were hot and wanted a swim so Syd, Evelyn and myself hopped the fence and swam and enjoyed the pool area. We had to walk a half mile to get to the marina office and shore where Koby could relieve himself. They had kids running it and they could not be bothered to come down and help us into our slips.
