	De Grasse was stationed in the West Indies, but left in secrecy - or he tried to. The British noticed his warships missing.

	The British Navy sent ships to Chesapeake Bay to cut De Grasse off. However, they went the fast way, while De Grasse took the scenic route - staying out of sight and out of the major shipping lanes. So when the British arrived at the Chesapeake they found it... completely empty. They sailed on for New York to meet with the rest of their fleet there, leaving the Chesapeake Bay empty when De Grasse arrived at the end of August. Clever. And by taking the long way around, De Grasse collected enough Sea Miles to qualify for a free hip flask.		The British Navy sent ships to Chesapeake Bay to cut De Grasse off.
