Great start to our adventure! Weather was warm and seas were calm. Right off the bat we saw 2 dolphins and a few miles past the Bay Bridge, I saw about 6 sharks (a shiver) having a little feeding frenzy! Unfortunately, I was navigating and Kevin was below -so no photos:) As we traveled along the C&D Canal (connecting the Chesapeake Bay to the Delaware River) we encountered only one large tanker but the canal was busy with pleasure boats and jet skis celebrating the holiday.

At the end of our 6 hour trip, we settled into a little basin along side Chesapeake City, a small town established sometime near in 1829 when the canal was finished. At that time the town had 2 houses.

Tomorrow we head to Cape May. It looks like we may be there for awhile because the weather forecast is showing rain and 5-7’ waves for W &Th.
