Seasick entering the Chesapeake Bay on the Great Loop | Traveling to Smith Island

Read our FREE travel guide to Smith Island, MD https://schoandjo.com/smith-island-md/

Today we leave Portsmouth, Virginia and head north into the Chesapeake Bay where we have our longest cruising day yet up to Smith Island, Maryland. Jenn becomes seasick as the winds hit us on a beam before moving south, giving us an extra lift up the Chesapeake Bay. We cross over into our 6th state on the Great Loop and enjoy the second half of the day’s weather before docking at the Smith Island Bakery dock.

Thanks for watching!

Cheers from the Loop,
Jennifer and Elliot

ABOUT US
Hi! We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Little did we know, 6 months later we would find ourselves in a nationwide lockdown in India. After spending 5 months in India, we came back to the United States and decided to purchase a 34’ Trawler, dive head first into boat life, and kick off America’s Great Loop.
The good, the bad, the ugly – and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem.

Thank you for following us along our journey!
