Exploring Small Towns on the Chesapeake Bay
We’ve challenged ourselves on our fourth trip through the Chesapeake to seek out towns that we’ve missed on prior cruises. After leaving Deltaville, we took a short trip north to Reedville, VA. This was a perfect trip as we got to see a new town and only needed to travel a few hours as the weather wasn’t predicted to be too good for cruising.

Yorktown, VA
Leaving Kent Narrows, and heading South, we needed to deal with currents, shallows and time the opening of Bridge 50 – 301 Bridge. All went well, and we cruised under the bridge to a beautiful sunrise. To say the Chesapeake Bay was still would be an understatement. The bay was like glass and the weather was bright and sunny.
