Hot work on the bay: The heat and lack of wind should have been a warning
Article Abstract:
Chesapeake Bay that was over 103 degrees when a sailor and his wife were returning from their wonderful weekend in Annapolis by sea and the horizon that looked like a giant roll of carpet with small, unnerving clouds preceding it, is described. He explains that they felt a zephyr and without any further warning they were under the juggernaut, however with much difficulty they came through unscathed, even though there was lot of damage and loss around them.
