St. Clements Bay to Tobacco River

The US Navy Special Operations units had their day on the Potomac today.  Several “Fast Boats” passed us coming and going as we speed along at a steady 6 knots.  Their wake was pretty significant and rolled our boat some.

We saw the Coast Guard buoy tender again taking care of another buoy on the Potomac.  Very little traffic on the river today.

Went up the Wicomico River and found it pretty boring.  No spectacular scenery or fabulous homes.  We made up for the boredom of the Wicomico when we entered the Tobacco River to anchor for the evening.  The mouth of the river was filled with the highest concentration of crab pots we have ever seen.  That plus the shallow unmarked entrance kept us on full alert.  We finally anchored in 8 feet of water just off Chapel Point which is topped off by a beautiful, small, old chapel overlooking the river.
