On the Delaware Bay

We are on the Delaware Bay heading for the C & D Canal in Bear, Del. today. Winds were 22-25 knots with 6 ft. seas, a bit rough this morning, but are now down to 14-17 knots. The wind was at our bow and we dunked the anchor over and over.

We've passed several huge barges and tankers. I managed to sneak downstairs long enough to grab a loaf of bread, some smoked ham from the refrigerator and a few packets of mayo and mustard and made my way back up to the cockpit to make lunch.

Now it is sunny and beautiful and we're enjoying the ride. Jazzy stayed on my lap in rough seas, but is now downstairs in her bed taking a nap.

Expect to arrive at Summit North Marina by 7 p.m. or so, but the wind and tide are working against us so we're not making good time.
