Also, in the bay there are three bouys (so far) on the Captain John
Smith water trails giving out historical information, real time weather
and water quality data. The number for the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive
Bouy System (CBIBS) is (877) 229-2689. The site is:
http://www.buoybay.org/site/public/
These are located at the mouth of the Patapsco and Potomac Rivers and
at Jamestown.

http://cbos.org/Home/chesapeake-bay-map/ shows those and a few more,
including the station on our breakwater and a buoy just a bit south of
us. I really like knowing the current -- showing 1.5 knots southbound
at the moment.

It's also a kick to zoom down and see our boat in her slip. Side item:
I really like Google's satellite imagery. I've used it to find channels
into anchorages I didn't have current local knowledge for.
