Waiting for a Good Wind

We spent two nights in Worton Creek on our way towards Delaware Bay. On the second night, thunderstorms came through with 64 knot winds! Manson Supreme anchor held us tight. Then an unforecasted west wind with 20 knots followed - we were in an unprotected spot for those winds that blew directly towards us, the entire width of the Chesapeake Bay for about 3 hours. They finally settled sometime after midnight. Yesterday we motored 25 miles to Chesapeake City; an historic small town on the C & D canal; which connects Chesapeake Bay to Delaware Bay. There is a reasonable spot to anchor & a free dock if there's space. No space at the dock when we came in so we dropped the anchor. Went to the Chesapeake Inn for crabcake sandwiches - Yum! This AM a spot opened up at the dock so we motored over & tied up. It is a convenient spot to fold up & stow "Porty" on the deck before our trip down Delaware Bay & up the New Jersey Coast. Also it is nice to step off the boat to explore Chesapeake City. Our plan is to wait til Saturday morning to leave for Cape May with a forecasted 10 knot wind from the North.
