Our Sea Scouts just finished a successful 8-day cruise in the lower Chesapeake Bay with 2 boats, 2 adults, and 9 scouts. This year we visited Portsmouth, Yorktown, Fishing Bay, Deltaville, Onancock, Cape Charles, and downtown Hampton. We toured museums, paddled kayaks, swam like fish, and ate tons of ice cream. The winds were great, yielding speeds of 6-7 kts the whole time, all without a single day of close hauled sailing. For safety, we wore face coverings while ashore, measured temperatures every day, and used copious hand sanitizer when we returned from visits ashore. This was a milestone event for many of the scouts because this was their only outlet in the last 5 months. They demonstrated skill and good seamanship. Bravo-Zulu.
