Great Loop: Chesapeake City

Days 123-124: May 20-21, 2023

When we arrived at Chesapeake City, we found the public dock was free, so we jumped at the opportunity versus anchoring for the first night. The water by the dock was a bit shallow yet we were able to squeeze in with Coda rafted up to Saga. We had some helpful assistance from Hyde on the sailboat at the end of the dock; him and his wife June, on their boat Beluga, were heading south towards the Bahamas. Quite the nice couple.

One item on the agenda was to resupply. Boris and I got the bikes out and headed to Walmart. It was a bit of a ride being about 7.5 miles one way with a bunch of hills. Boris was not a fan of the big Chesapeake City Bridge. It was pretty high.

Before heading back, we had a beverage at Mick’s Crab House and that gave us the energy for the return trek. When we arrived back a hot air balloon was flying about and did a touch and go on the water in the cove.

Goofing off around town

We spent some time going around the town area and spent a couple hours at the Chesapeake Inn‘s Tiki Bar for safe arrival beverages.

While the guys were out getting supplies Tonia and Mayli checked out the quaint little downtown area and also headed to the Tap Room Crab House so Mayli could get all you can eat crab (they even let her take some home) and then some delish fruity drinks at the outdoor Rum Bar.

On the final day it was time to go out for a jog down the canal. It was a good time and nice to get moving. We capped off the run with a nice breakfast sandwich at Cafe on the Bay. Next stop is Delaware City so we can drive to get our inverter (fingers crossed).
