Lady Liberty

Upon entering the New York area, our first anchorage was behind Liberty Island. You can not go to New York by boat without anchoring behind this well known land mark.

Atlantic City

We were anchored out just close enough to Donald Trump's casinos to enjoy the light show.
It certainly lights up the night sky.We went out for supper with some people we met here in the anchorage and all the lights made for a lovely ride home in the dingy.

Delaware Bay

We crossed the Delaware Bay on Wednesday June 6th. There was lots of commercial traffic.

Yesterday we came from Cape May N.J. to Atlantic City. A 36 nm Atlantic ocean crossing.

On the move again

After spending more time than we anticipated in Annapolis we are on our way north. Not that Annapolis was not a nice place to visit, especially the Dock in Salt works creek at the Huggins, was a wonderful place to hang out. It was just like home away from home. However we need to continue north. So at 09.45 hr this morning (June 5th we untied from the dock and headed north. Made it all the way to Chesapeake City on the C & D canal. (Chesapeake/Delaware bay canal) As the name suggests it is a canal that joins the Delaware Bay to the Chesapeake. Lots of commercial traffic, and we met a couple of pretty large ocean going boats. Better get out of the way of those boy's. No pictures, as I don't have a strong internet signal.
In the next few days we hope to be in New York City.

Spring clean up

While we were at the Huggins, dock they decided it was time to clean their boat.

Here are David and Eleanor scrubbing their boat.

Memorial day week end

For the memorial day week end we moved from the boat yard to the Huggins on Salt works creek.
We enjoyed a wonderful week end with them. Also we met st. John and Caroline (long time friends from the Huggins from Oakville) so we had a Canadian version of memorial day week end.

Monday night we left Salt Works Creek to go back to the boat yard to finish rewiring the boat, so we would not run out of power again while crossing oceans.

More Blue Angels

It is hard to get a good shot of the performance.

Joanne managed to take this one just before they disappeared behind the radar arch.
