DAY 92 - PORTSMOUTH, VA TO ANNAPOLIS, MD (159.8 Mi.)

Thursday, August 3, 2017 ~ Sunrise was at 6:13 am and we left Tidewater Yacht Marina at 6:45 am.  for Annapolis.  We have a route on the GPS for our travels on Chesapeake Bay.  Using auto navigation we have a nice smooth run.  There is almost no visible land and we only know our exact location when we pass a buoy.  At 12:45 pm we arrive at the fuel dock at The Yacht Basin Company, Annapolis, MD.  

Our charted route on the GPS from
Portsmouth to Annapolis.

Passing a green buoy and now we can get our exact
position on the chart.
