This is my first passage under the 301 Bridge since they started removing the old bridge. I loved the aesthetic of the old bridge, so it's a bit sad to see it almost completely dismantled. The new bridge is boring imho and lacks character 🤷.

We've made it to Sassafras Harbor Marina, where we'll be for the night. I love the Eastern Shore! It's so beautiful up here:

If you're interested in historical boats and how unique designs helped navigate challenging areas, read about the James River Batteau:

I've paddled the whitewater in and around Richmond, and I'm impressed this boat was able to navigate the area. Need to check out the tour with a replica one of these days.

I've previously shared info on the Seafarers Yacht Club in Washington, DC. This recent NPR story is on the Seafarers Yacht Club in Annapolis. It's an important community organization with a history that all lovers of the Chesapeake Bay should be familiar with:

Good morning from the #chesapeakbay It’s going to be another scorcher… but the bay breezes are keeping things cool for now. Only a 3 mile bike ride this morning- I must not have peddled fast enough the mosquitoes got me 🦟
