9:15 AM- left the dock in Philadelphia - we are now into our 3rd week out and about!
Sunny -80's
One thing I learned was that I would get an all day pass to see the sights.
another an all day pass on the Phlash -$5 -on and off 27 stops
Plan ahead the stops to do and timing is everything....
12:00 noon - made chicken salad sandwich for lunch...-very breezy...Ken tried to raise the jib...way overpowered the boat...I almost lost lunch...no not sick to my stomach...just almost hit the floor we got blown down hard....all ok...ken let the jib out and hauled it back in as i gave him the hairy eyeball!
2:15 PM- just entered C & D Canal heading to the Chesapeake
Big Waves, gusting wind to 21 mph... having all the fun I can stand.
Just passed a marina Summit North on the C & D just past the railroad bridge....
nothing there, no town, just boondocks...
we kept heading to Chesapeake City where there was a free dock...everybody else did to and they beat us there...no room...Ken did not want to anchor out so we started in towards the Chesapeake Bay,,,starting to get late...decided too far to find a place there so we turned back around and went back to the Summit North Marina 4 miles back...took us almost an hour to get there...
Got fuel, pump out, then went in to pay for a slip...met a guy named Don Law...lives in Delaware now, but has a house in Cape Vincent -big green one across from the marina where we keep our boat...has 4 apts. in it...wants to sell it to me...ok how much...$100,000 - let me think about it...out we go to dock and then to bed...tired motor scooters...long dang day. no wifi ugh!
Note: we motored 15 hrs on one tank of gas...took 9 gal....
more tomorrow...
