I appreciate the comments. I spend a lot of time on the web site and it's
nice to know that people find it valuable. I've always been amazed at how
many people that I've met who literally have copies of the web site aboard
their boat.

I looked at the parts that I know about (the Chesapeake and ICW), and
while I found it very interesting and did like the photos, I was a bit
put off by some of the things you said like

As it turns out, there aren't a lot of anchorages on the Chesapeake bay

Which I know is untrue. Of course, anchoring north of Bloodsworth
Island is not an anchorage I would have chosen. And

The ICW runs from Norfolk, VA to the farthest Key in Florida.

Actually the ICW runs from north of the Chesapeake (I'm not sure how
far, but it is in NJ) all the way around the end of Florida and along
the Gulf coast. It's just that the SM numbering goes from Norfolk
down to Key West.

today we passed a brand new PINK house on a sand bar that obviously had put palm trees in. Those trees won't survive long with the temperatures that occur around here.

The trees are fine - they were still there when we came north this
year. The jets which you said were from the Army base were probably
from the Marine base. I don't think the Army has much in the way of
jets. The place that you said was an air force base near Elizabeth
City is the Coast Guard station.

Anyway, the photos were wonderful.
