PACKED IN ON THE C and D CANAL







Right now we are parked in the anchorage hole in Chesapeake City on the C and D Canal. We arrived here about 4 pm, and since then there have been five larger boats trying to fit in our little space. Be interesting to see what happens.


So, we are on an anchorage and I have to careful of the use of my computer battery so this note will be short. We got up at 5:30 am, left at 6:30 and motored almost 60 miles in 10 hours. We had the
tide coming in behind us which helped push us up the Delaware Bay.


Here are some photos of today's trip. Notice the white on the light house, that is dried salt from sea spray. Another is the nuclear power plant in NJ that is right on the Bay, plus one of Joy driving, no hands as the autopilot was on.

We will be in the northern part of Chesapeake Bay for the next 8 days, then to Baltimore with Josh and Rachel, Sept 25 & 26, and then the following weekend with Jen, Mark, Erin and Adam at Annapolis. Then into the southern part of the Bay for some more islands/towns to visit before we go to Norfolk, VA for the start of the ICW.
