Updated Loop Map and Trip Statistics. Start at CYC, go Clockwise.

Here is a revised map showing some of the actual deviations that we did. The tracks marked with "X" we did NOT do. Basically, we did follow our Trip Plan pretty good. We started at our Yacht Club, CYC, Middle River Maryland and went CLOCKWISE. From Ocean City, MD to Wachapreague, VA we decided to go all the way on the outside in the ocean. The seas were nice and it made for a very nice trip.

After "Bay Creek", we went into "Cape Charles Town Harbor" to get $3.50 gas and eat breakfast.

We left the "Tides" a day early and went to "Dozier's Regatta Point Marina" at the south side of the mouth of the Rappahannock River.

At Crisfield, we were advised not to go north through their canal so we heeded their advice and went back down south and then up and around the Hooper Straights.

After "Taylors Island Marina", we went up the Little Choptank River for a bit looking for a lunch spot at "Madison's Camp Ground", which we did NOT find. And then we turned around and went up through "Knapps Narrows". They were full at the time for lunch so we ended up going to "Buddy Harrisons" for lunch. This is one of those times you say you had a $100 hamburger......... Actually, I had a steak sub and Dawn had a Rubin sandwich. I guess you could say we were seafooded out!

Here are the basic trip statistics in round numbers:

Overall Trip Miles were 600 miles. Yeah! And part of that was about 180 miles out in the OCEAN. Man...... that was nice!

That relates to about $2,700 in today's gas prices. Ouch!

We only spent about $900 at marinas. Averages out to $65 a day. I didn't think that was too bad.

And I know you all want to know what the food bill was.......

Not tellin ya!

Just kidding!

Since some of this was cash, (I like to leave cash tips too....) I can't give you exact numbers. But it is over a thousand, and approximately $1,100 to $1,200. And that's only $80 a day for the way we ate!!!!

I'll let you all do the math and add it up yourself. But guess what? We came in under budget! And "that" - my friends........ is good!

Until the next time.........
