  • Entrance to Monroe Bay.
  • The Miss Ann. Google it, she has quite a history.
  • One of my favorite places to eat in Colonial Beach, The Icehouse Brewery

Though I’ve been into Monroe Bay countless times in power boats I don’t ever recall going in very far by sailboat until today.  The wind speed and direction were conducive to going back about a mile which for all intensive purposes is the end of navigable waters.
