CODA Mid-Atlantic 2025 (4).

CODA : What a difference a day makes on the Chesapeake: Blue skies and calm seas. 

28 April 2025 

Jackson Creek anchorage, Deltaville, Virginia 

On our way to drop the anchor in Deltaville at 15:40.

Marc- It was a really nice day to be on Chesapeake Bay.  We were able to sail on the lower bay but the winds died off after we crossed the mouth of the York River.  We make good progress regardless with a calm sea and favorable current.  No troubles getting to Deltaville.  

Once we were settled at anchor, we made our way over to the Deltaville marina to use their facilities for a small fee.  We made several trips with the dinghy without issue.  On out last trip the outboard would not start (no spark) for some reason and we simply rowed back to Coda nearby.  

Sue we really enjoyed the salmon that you sent us for dinner tonight.  Your preserves are wonderful too.

After dinner we walked through a nice wooded park over to the maritime museum.
