By the time we left
Havre De Grace, after the boat having been there over two weeks, most of the
flood driven debris was gone. We still
had to be vigilant, as there were some branches in the water. We entered the C&D Canal with no problem
and proceeded down to Delaware City, at the opening of the Delaware Bay. On the way, we passed 4 bridges, but all were
high enough that we didn’t need to ask/wait for an opening.
In Delaware City, we were tied up on a face dock at the city’s
docks. We were delighted to find our
friends, Bill and Nita, from Phase II, there!
They had unfortunately had been there longer than they planned, having
had to deal with a medical emergency with Bill.
He was ok, though, so we got to go to dinner with them. We were also met there by Foster Schucker and
his wife, Susan. Foster had been a
wonderful help in Havre De Grace – on our return trip from home, we had to
return the rental car to Newark, Delaware, about 35 miles from the boat. Foster met us there and drove us down to the
boat. Foster and Susan met us in
Delaware City for lunch. Foster was also
a big help in helping us to determine when would be a good time for cruising
out to Cape May through the Delaware Bay.
