WATER IS LIFE:Chesapeake Bay - a beautiful place - many nice people


We are now experiencing the last days of SEAYLP 2010. Today is November 17th, we started very early to go to Chesapeake bay, one of the largest bays in USA. At 12pm, a big and beautiful boat came to pick us up. We sailed around to visit the Bay. It’s much more beautiful than I thought. Chesapeake Bay is quiet but graceful beauty . Sitting on the boat and looking around, I saw a lot of trees, nice houses around the bay. It was windy and the water’s tranquil.


The Chesapeake Bay Bridge was built in

the early 1950s from Cape Sandy, Maryland, near

Annapolis, west of Kent Island, Maryland. The Bay is

known as the place which offers seafood such as clams, crabs ...

People here are very friendly and hospitable . Many volunteers offer to work here to instruct visitors and give information about the bay . The time in the boat passed so fast but I got acquainted with a volunteer. She‘s about 50 years old and very kind. She told me some interesting stories about this bay and her life. Perhaps she loves her job and of course she loves this area very much. Our conversation is so interesting that I forgot to ask her name. I think the hospitability of people living here makes the Chesapeake bay more beautiful. Beautiful place-beautiful people.
