Chesapeak Canal Day

Going into it I expected a fun day out on the water with fellow boaters including a tan and some drinks. Silly me Canal Day on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland turned out to exceed my expectations and a fairly epic adventure.

We loaded the car with packed coolers, flotation devised, cameras and of course cowboy hats then embarked on the 2 hour drive south. It was a beautiful morning with the sun already hot. Since we were told that glass bottles were not permitted on deck of the boat LM and I improvised by drinking much of a case and pouring the rest into large plastic bottles. The 6 of us climbed on board 'Captain Bob's' boat and headed headed out to the inlet with our bikinis, beverages and cow girl hats.

You could not miss the hundreds of boats tied together joining in the fun. As fellow young boaters waved we waved back trying to find the perfect spot to tie in on the fun. We saw all types of boats, big small sail boats, and even a pirate ship! That's when the water balloons came in. They started flying at us from every angle, splashing on the boat and our bodies. Everyone was giggling and some were even squirting water guns. We were drenched! Our electronics barely survives the massacre.

The coast guard boats hung close, entire bottles of alcohol were spilled, bruises occurred and laughing was plentiful. The whole canal was a great big mardi gra type bash. We enjoyed hours of fun before the sun was coming down and  'Captain Bob' needed to take the boat out of the canal.

LM and I decided we were not ready to call it a day and decided to adventure and stay at the Chesapeake Inn where there were many more friends and the party was a whole different tropical scene. We befriended police officers, and greeted friends that were bearing pink water winds with swim trunks. We danced the night away drinking and laughing. I dumped water on one young boy who was complementing my breast.

Many items found their fate at the bottom of that inlet including sunglasses, phones, and cameras. The rest is history, however I will let you know that I set a fire alarm off in a apartment complex ... in Delaware. Defiantly one of those weekends you need to experience for yourself! So if you can get there this weekend because I want to hear your story!
