Indian Creek Kilmarnock

Tuesday April 27th. This particular blog is dedicated to Aedan’s brother Declan who fell off his scooter and is currently suffering from a concussion,

facial bruising, and possible fracture of his jaw and arm. Declan we admire your spirit and glad you are home and recovering. 

Another Layday at Tidewater Marina as Nandad prepares to get his second COVID shot. Nana participated in a zoom yoga class while Nandad took an Uber to CVS - after our bike ride yesterday he decided to skip the bike. Laundry needed to be done , boat needs a good wash down, windows need a good cleaning , trash  and recycling need to be disposed. So a busy afternoon lay ahead in preparation for an early start tomorrow, so we can catch the tide heading up the creek to Bill & Linda’s house in Kilmarnock. 

Wednesday 28th April heading up The Chesapeake Bay. Chesapeake Bay is 219 miles long from Norfolk VA mile zero to Chesapeake City MD and the C&D canal, however it has 11,600 miles of shoreline. So a lot to cruise and explore. According to the Loopers Companion Guide it has over 150 rivers and streams. It’s width varies from 4 miles at the Bay Bridge to 30 miles at the Potomac. Although you can’t see Kilmarnock on the map it is very close to Irvington. When cruising the Bay it is important to check the weather as it can be very choppy and unforgiving. Nandad had to work hard at the helm but we were safely docked after a five hour cruise. Thank you to Bill & Patrick for having the dock all prepped for our arrival. What a treat! 

 

The picture below if from NEBO so you can see NH’s actual route.

Lots of toys here with Sailboat, jet skies, motor boat, kayaks etc So excited to have some fun with Bill, Linda and family. It is such a peaceful spot. Nana and Nandad will spend three days here and then drive back to Franklin MA to connect once again with family and hopefully friends. It has been 10 weeks since Nandad has been home! We plan to celebrate Mother’s Day before we leave to return on Sunday 10th May. When we return we will cruise up the Potomac to Washington DC and stay at the Capital Yacht Club. 

No more blog until then. Happy Mothers Day to all and a speedy recovery to Declan.
