We left New Jersey around 7:45 on Wednesday morning. We took sv Mary Elizabeth around Cape May, into the Delaware Bay, Delaware River, and finally the C&D Canal. We stayed the night about 1/2 way through the Canal in Chesapeake City, DE and arrived about 6:00 pm. This was one of our longer days. We experienced a little rain, but nothing major. The Canal is sleepy, although very pretty and green. The water is finally turning that brownish Chesapeake Bay color again, so we know we are getting close to home.
Bill watched the Sox (on the computer) and I watched the Olympics (they had cable TV at the marina) and called it an early night. We are currently motoring through the second half of the Canal. For the first time in awhile, we don't have a destination tonight (not yet, at least). We want to be close to Baltimore so on Sunday when Andrea flies in (yippeeeeee!) we have a short day.
