# 4 Chesapeake Bay gunk-holing - Fishing Bay, (Piankatank River/ Jackson Creek) Virginia
We had a gorgeous sail north today in a perfect light breeze but unfortunately fell 20 miles short of our planned destination.  Luckily we found a deep, "easy-entry" anchorage at Fishing Bay.
As we travel north "gunk-holing" we continue to check on haul out options for the end of August (3 weeks from now). 

What a strange awakening we had today as we found the visibility poor (less than 1/2 mile) due to smoke.  The weather transmission from N.O.A.A. tells us a forest fire is burning south of us in the Great Dismal Swamp.  In an effort to sail out of the smoke we headed, yet again, back across the bay to anchor in Tangier Island.
