At the very beginning of our voyage, we sailed to Tangier Island in the Chesapeake Bay. This island was named by John Smith because the landscape reminded him of Tangier in Morocco. I personally think he was running out of names for things because the next island over in the Chesapeake Bay he named Smith Island. Did that island’s landscape remind him of himself?
Years later, we finally made our way to Morocco and got to sail into the port of Tangier without the use of a diesel engine (only using our electric engine to dock inside the marina).
