POSTSUBSCRIPT. We study how the evolution of the swimming velocity depends on the anchoring strength of the the liquid crystal at the surface of the swimmer, and also the Ericksen number Er, which is the ratio of viscous to elastic stresses. Building on their work in spatially localising the swimmer, Sha et al. The smallest box shall be made around the swimmer such that it encompasses the swimmer, for all swimmers, regardless of how visible the swimmer is in terms of occlusions. The swimmer lies in a two-dimensional hexatic liquid crystal. Betterton Beach began as a resort area as early as the 1920s. Since then, speedo goggles families vacation there or just come for a day trip. Nearly 200 years later, in 1804, construction on the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal began.

Queen Anne’s Museum of Eastern Shore Life: Also in Centreville is Queen Anne’s Museum of Eastern Shore Life, displaying artifacts telling the story of the unique life of those who have called this area home. The Waterman’s Museum in Rock Hall was created to tell the story of local watermen, a way of life that continues in Chesapeake Country. At Rock Hall Beach, visitors are met with a great place for a beach cookout or swimming.

Betterton Beach and Rock Hall Beach provide sandy shores and fresher water. If being in a boat on shimmering blue water sounds like fun to you, the Chesapeake Country Scenic Byway has much to offer. Painting a picture of the Chesapeake Country Scenic Byway requires only a leisurely drive along some of Maryland’s most scenic roads. Colors of a grassy field or a windswept shore combine to create a drive for every kind of artist. If you keep your eyes open, you see that recreational opportunities are available all along the shore. Two splendid beaches are available on the byway. Chestertown: Farther north on the byway is the port town of Chestertown. Travelers will be delighted at the sight of a perfectly situated town among the landscape of the byway. Recreation on the byway revolves around its water sources. The ancient Romans used water powered mills to turn grain to flour; Welsh miners used water power to extract valuable metals from the earth as early as the first century A.D. A canvas of pastoral countryside is the perfect background for scenery that includes historic churches, bays, beaches, and stylish 18th century main streets.

Stevensville’s historic district has nearly 100 well-preserved buildings amidst quiet narrow streets.

For sailing, Chesapeake Bay, the Sassafras River, and the Chester River are ideal spots to catch a bit of wind and glide across the water. In the mid-1600s, a Dutch mapmaker named Augustine Herman proposed the construction of a waterway that would connect the Delaware River and Chesapeake Bay. The waterway would reduce the time it would take to transfer goods to and from the Chesapeake Bay area. Rather than using ethylene vinyl acetate, which can take up to 1,000 years to decompose, the sole is made using BioMoGo, a material expected to biodegrade over the course of 20 years.
