Good used find, Cheasapeake City, C&D Canal

 After Annapolis, we made a short jump to Rock Hall, MD, where we stayed for 3 days.  2 days were cloudy and rainy, but we got to use our raincatcher, which worked well.  We got around 50 gallons of water in the tank.  About 1/2" of rainfall.   

On the last day, the sun came out enough, we walked to town.  We found a used marine store, and got a bag for our dinghy seat, that will help to keep the dinghy organized.  Used and slightly faded and worn, but only $16.

We moved from Rock Hall up to Chesapeake City,  Had a nice downwind sail for 42 miles.   We worked on our sun shades, and they are now complete.

Walked to town for lunch.  You never know what you will see when you walk to town.  This guys yard looked like a cross between a junkyard and museum.

Ate at JoJo's Diner.  About a mile walk in.   Quite the selection of hotdogs.  Got so busy eating, forgot to take a picture of the hot dog,  Hot dog not as good as Super Duper Weenine, but passable.  Of course, across the street from the diner was an appealing sign we could not resist.

Ice cream is always good.

Of course you have to maintain safe distancing

I can feel the pounds going on as I eat

View of the C&D Canal.  You can see a small sailboat entering the bay where we are anchored in the photo.

Charm anchored in at Chesapeake City.

We left Chesapeake City early in the morning, as the run to Cape May, New Jersey, our next planned stop is 61 miles.   We wanted to sail, and the wind was predicted to fill in nicely around 11:00.  Also the current due to tide in the Delaware Bay is strong, and we wanted it to be in our favor.   

Early Morning on the C&D Canal.  A balloonist was out enjoying the crisp but mainly clear morning as well.

Small lighthouse on the Delaware Bay

Saw a couple of large container ships heading north.  

You can see in the photos the water is fairly flat.   We did not get the wind predicted at 11:00, in fact it did not fill in until around 4:00, and by then, we were only 1/2 hour from the anchorage.  We did motorsail all day, in light winds, but never did get the motor off.   Now anchored in Cape May, NJ.  Plan on heading out on Friday, and up to New York.
