Worton Creek to Chesapeake City, no, Delaware City

We left Worton Creek Thur. morning in what was another beautiful day. Planned a short 3.5 - 4 hour trip to Chesapeake City. Again the bay was flat as a lake and light winds. We were again making over 8 knots with the current. Here are some shots of the shoreline in the northern bay.

Here is a manufactured park with a view!

As we approached the C&D (Chesapeake & Delaware) canal we heard a radio broadcast that the canal was closed because they were stretching cables across it. We proceeded on and just as we got to the entrance they open it for 20 minutes. We still had the current with us and it was early so we decided to continue on to Delaware City on the other end.

Delaware City is a nice stop. The town is very small but Tim and staff at the marina are great. We had a 5:15 meeting with Tim to discuss the weather in the bay for departure tomorrow and decided to head out. Ann wants to spend her birthday in Cape May, NJ.
