PS I Love You

Cruising up the Chesapeake

Yesterday MV Jubilee got underway out of Solomons MD, cruising up the Chesapeake Bay in headwinds gusting to 30 kts, resulting in a bouncy, hobby-horse kind of ride. We anchored overnight in the entrance to the Rhode River. (Continued…)

The Western Wall

Shalom,
