Greetings from Chesapeake City Maryland

Now that we are further south, most of the marinas have piles which are basically telephone poles to tie up to. We have no idea how to tie up to a pile and not scratch our boat in the process. Just getting fuel leaving Lewes was an adventure in itself and ended up asking fishermen to help us tie up. We in our defense told them we’re Canadians and don’t have those where we’re from.
After leaving Delaware, we came to the perfect anchorage in Cohansey New Jersey after negotiating the minefield of crab pots and with the advise of a local fisherman.
The following day with a million dollars sunrise we  head north to pick up the C & D Canal to the Chesapeake Bay.
The weather blew up on the way and when we pulled in to the protected anchorage in Chesapeake City it was quite full. As rookies, we probably anchored too close to a few sailboats and they came out to move their boats and wouldn’t look at us.
The next morning everyone around us had left.......
Another learning curve.....leave enough space to swing 360 dhegrees on your anchor!!!
To say the least, we’ve learned a lot in the last 6 weeks.
And today on Canadian Election Day, we are sitting in the cockpit at 5h30 pm, enjoying a cocktail in shorts and T-shirt. May the best man win whoever he is!
To be continued...
