Way Better than Amtrak

We were up and ready to weigh anchor at 0530 because we were very excited about making our way up Delaware Bay. The first excitement was when Jim drove the boat out of the channel in the dark into 4.6 feet of water (we require 4.5 feet of water)! After that we successfully traversed the Cape May Canal, and once we were in open waters we sailed 35 miles up the Delaware until the Bay narrowed and the wind was right on our nose. After a total of sixty-two nautical miles; we anchored in the basin at Chesapeake City, MD. The weather here is perfect; the wind calm and after a late dinner in the cockpit we enjoyed watching a gigantic white ship transit the canal 300 feet from us - much quieter than Amtrak!
