Cape Charles to Fishing Bay

The winds were out of the north. We sailed on a close haul tackling all the way up the Chesapeake. The winds in the afternoon were gusting to 25 plus and the forecast was calling for worsening conditions. We decided to tuck into Fishing Bay. It was really calm in there and anchoring was easy. Beautiful sunset. We ended up staying the next day as well.
