Day 2 of our Chesapeake Bay Loop (June 18, 2025) begins with big, rolling waves in our overnight anchorage at "The Glebe". We're not sure of the reason for this, as there was not much wind and no boats going by, but our sleep was sure interrupted for several hours by the boat continually rolling from side to side. We were able to fall asleep in the wee hours, and when we woke up, the cove was calm and just a slight breeze blowing. We checked the weather and decided to get an early start, as winds were expected to pick up later in the day (and crossing the bay in high winds is no joke). The forecasted wind for our trip across to Somers Cove Marina in Crisfield, MD was 8-10 knots, gusting to 20-21 knots. We decided we could handle this and set off a little after 7 am. The waves in the Bay weren't too bad during our crossing, but they got bigger as the wind picked up the closer we got to the marina. We had bow splash as the boat went down into the wave trough, but it was much better than having the waves at our beam (hitting from the side). We arrived at Somers Cover Marina at 12:20 pm. Travel time was 5 hours, 10 minutes. The wind was 13 mph SSW with gusts up to 22 mph. It was sunny and 82, our kind of weather!!
