# 6 - Chesapeake Bay gunk-holing - Smith Creek (north shore of Potomac River), Maryland

What a delight it was to drop anchor in this secluded, deep water, tree-lined location.  We spent a lay day here all by ourselves and relaxed in this quiet, cool anchorage but unfortunately the dense smoke that greeted us the next morning saw us underway again, this time 32 miles north to the Solomon's.  It would appear the Great Dismal Swamp is still burning.
