Our cruise on the Chesapeake Bay was a first-time adventure for some of
us. We smelled the salt water as it splashed up on the boat. The
unpleasant odor of the marsh made us hold our noses! The water had
a pungent smell. We saw vacant osprey nests left behind on the channel
markers. The Annapolis Naval Academy was enormous. Rocks lined
the shore and offered protection for the houses there. The Chesapeake
Bay Bridge looked like an arch towering over us. The white caps on
the Bay rocked our boat as we sailed along. The waves beat against
our boat and sounded like distant thunder. Our day on the water made
our study of the Chesapeake Bay come to life.
