Monarch On the Move!

After an early start this morning and a trip to the dump-station and the fuel dock in Deale, we headed out into the Chesapeake Bay under bright skies and calm seas. Needless to say, we were overjoyed to head Monarch north. We passed some great sights: Annapolis, the Thomas Shoal Light, the Severn Bridge, wonderful landscapes and homes. As we passed Annapolis we thought of John McVay and wished he could see it as we were seeing it!

There are many beautiful lighthouses along the way. The Sandy Point Light to your left is just one that we saw today.

Not too long after we were treated to this sight we arrived at the Magothy River and entered the Sillery Bay where we are anchored for the night. There are several small islands around; one called Dobbins Island which is totally uninhabited and Little Island which has a huge house with a built-in light house next to it. The only drawback is that they have planted a plastic palm tree in the front yard!!!

Canada Goose visited us and we have reentered the world of the Osprey. They are all around us searching for food.

John is having great fun using his new GPS equipment. He already has all our waypoints marked for tomorrows voyage.
