The Adventure.
Our base for this photographic adventure will be Shardana, (www.shardanasailing.com) a custom built 425sailboat moored in Rock Hall MD., at the Osprey Point Inn, one of the eastern shore’s finest marinas.
The first day will begin with a welcoming dinner, an overview of our photographic adventure, which depending on the winds can includes stops at Annapolis, St. Michaels, Oxford, Cambridge, Kent Island, Wye River (nature anchorage), Magothy River, Chestertown,  Worton Creek (nature anchorage), Rhode River (nature anchorage but walking distance to Old Stein Inn Restaurant), Corsica River (nature anchorage an hour or two south of Chestertown) Chesapeake and Delaware Canal (ChesapeakeCity), and other destinations that will be selected daily as the winds allow.

Do you love to sail and explore one of America’s greatest maritime assets.

What to expect.
7 magical sunrises and sunsets like no other, the beauty of nature at its very best, photographic opportunities along the shores and waterways of the largest bay/watershed in the United States, wildlife, wildfowl, Lighthouses, beaches (we will use inflatable to get to shore as required), other sailboats, crab and fishing vessels, “gunkholing”*, sleeping on the hook on the eastern and western shores, when marinas are not in the nights plan. Sailing and maritime history across the bay, quaint seaports, creeks, ways, and the beauty that is only Chesapeake Bay (https://www.chesapeakebay.net/).
