The Eire Canal to Crossing our Wake!!!
Tuesday morning the lock opened at 8:00 am and we were in the first group to go through. The first few locks are referred to as the flight of 5, as they are all less than a mile apart and you go through them in quick succession. After getting through those 5, boats started dropping…

Back to New York
Tuesday morning we were up early. We made our way through the notorious Point Pleasant Canal. A narrow channel lined entirely by solid rock walls, it is known to get very rough with lots of traffic. It’s advised not to go through it on the weekends at all costs. Thankfully, this was Tuesday and going…

15 States’ Down, 1 More to Go!
Our last night in Philly was a windy one. I kept waking up from the boat being bounced about a bit. Tuesday we made our way back down the Delaware River to Delaware City, DE. Which is the jumping off point to get down to Cape May, NJ. Along the way we continued our passing…

Annapolis & A Bonus Side Trip
Tuesday morning we took the dinghy with ‘Razors Edge’ and ‘Odyssey’ back down Ego Alley (an inlet off the main water with docks & the surrounding streets are the main area lined with restaurants and shops). We went to the Naval Academy where you can walk around on your own but we all had booked…

Down the Potomac
With it looking like the wind wasn’t going to quit for the next several days, we decided to take our time getting back to the Chesapeake. So we stayed another day, Tuesday, at Belmont Bay. Don has been looking for the time to do an oil change on the boat and there were few stores…

A little later ‘Knot N’ Kansas’ arrived and docked next to us. That evening we played cards with them and Jona gave us…

Chesapeake Bay
Tuesday morning was a bit gloomy. I did some laundry and made deviled eggs with the already peeled hard boiled eggs 😃🥚. Larry the marina owner, let’s guests borrow his car, so Don made a run to the hardware store for some extra supplies. I worked on travel plans up to D.C. and that evening…

North Carolina
Tuesday morning we were up early and headed to Oriental, NC. It was nice and calm through the intercoastal water, until we had to cross the Neuse River. Which is just a wide inlet from the ocean with no protection. That was very choppy! The last stretch was 1-2 ft short interval waves, making it…

Log or Gator? A fun new game
Tuesday in Georgetown we went up to the main drag to check out some of the places we had seen on the map. First stop was the Indigo Bakery. A husband and wife team, they were pulling trays fresh out of the oven when we walked in. I got a scrumptious blueberry stuffed croissant. From…

Motoring on Up
With everything on the boat fixed 🤞, Tuesday we took a Lyft to downtown Savannah. We stopped first at the Forsyth Park Fountain. A beautiful park, the fountain has different figures spraying water all around it. We then walked through the historic district down to River Street. There were all sorts of different shops, restaurants…
