Molly’s Great American Loop

Or should I say back to Delaware. Our last encounter in this state was only about 30 minutes. But tonight we’re here for duration. Actually planned to fuel up in Delaware City but the pump wasn’t working so we backtracked on the C&D canal to Summit North Marina after stopping at the Delaware City free dock for a walkabout. We had also planned to anchor out tonight but it was late in the afternoon and getting ready to rain so we decided to just get a slip. This marina is very big with thirteen sets of docks extending from a single walkway. Most of the big boats are closest to shore. We asked for a bow in port tie away from the big boats so wouldn’t feel closed in and the guy here (actually the security guard) said pick any one you like and just call me when you find it. So we are halfway down the marina on dock G (A closest to shore). I kid you not it’s a five minute walk to land. And there are six more sets of docks beyond us. But hey steps are good 👍. Moki and I have done two walks on the Castle C&D trail going in different directions. Takes a while to get to the pretty stuff but it runs thru a preserve which is nice. Tomorrow we’ll tackle Delaware Bay.Read more
