Annapolis to Baltimore

We left Annapolis under clear skies 10 days ago.  We've only travelled about 100 miles since then but the trip has been enjoyable and oh so relaxing.  Day one started with clear skies, but fog decended on us before we arrived at the bay bridge.  The photo will explain what it was like.  It was very strange to see fog decend to water level.  The bridge gradually disappeared from the top down.  At it's worst I think our visibility at times was less then 1/4 mile.  We spent 3 days in the Corsica River (a tributary of the Chester River).  Beautiful setting.  The photo of the farm house is typical of the shoreline on the Chester and Corsica.  Most shoreline is trees with gaps that show the occasional house or cultivated field.  We saw deer on the shoreline and heard turkeys occasionally.  Geese and ducks were always around along with ospreys.  We continued up the Chester River to Chestertown after the rain stopped.  We met a cruising couple from Ottawa, Ontario at the Chestertown Marina.  More about them later.  Chestertown is a faithfully restored town that dates from the 1700's.  We met my aunt Doris and cousin Susan for an afternoon walk through town and a "float" on the river.  No wind, so I can't say we really sailed.  That evening, after saying goodby to Doris and Susan, we anchored next to the Canadian couple's Bristol 38 Sea Skimmer just south of the marina.  Cocktails and story telling in the cockpit. In the morning they found themselves aground so we formed the Parish Towing and Salvage Company.  It only took a few minutes to pull them off the shoal so we motored in tandem down the river to the Corsica.  The 20th was a fantastic sailing day.  We sailed from the Chester River across the bay and up the Patapsco River to Rock Creek with a 12 knot southerly on our beam.  Best day yet.  

I'm attaching a MAP so you can see where we've been the past few days.  Also some photos.
