Saint Georges

Ok, I am not going to lie, New Jersey felt like the longest state in the world there for a minute. :) We thought it would never end. Then in one day we were in Delaware for lunch and Maryland for dinner. Just like that.

It was a bit of an intense day. We learned another never never never going to do that again thing. We crossed the rest of the Delaware bay knowing full well we were heading into 20knt winds against a 6knt tidal flow. It made for a very intense ride. The worst hour and a half of our ride yet. So, we will never never never do that again! We will always look for wind at our back or no wind at all and never a wind against a tide.

After all that intensity, however, we were rewarded with a beautiful day and the tide of the C&D Canal pushing us right on through. It was like two different days jammed into one. The canal is not all that scenic, but looks like a great place to hang out if you are in the area. There is a 14 mile long bike / walking trail along the canal.

We have decided that moving every day is not really for us and we have plenty of time. We also decided that boating on what looks to be a beautiful labor day weekend in the Chesapeake Bay may be a bit too crowded for us. So, we docked up at a cute marina until Monday. We can hike here, kayak, they have a pool and a little beach. The dogs have a friend next door and Dave and I are only a $20 uber ride to the store. (Dave is not too happy about that cost.) We are planning to take it easy, enjoy the holiday from the phones and paperwork, get some non anxious sleep and get back to our journey on Monday. Wish us luck! Happy Labor Day to everyone!Read more
