Day 12 Solomon Islands MD

We are here! A wet and colddddddddddddd journey today, canvas enclosure just got put on the TOP of the we need list. There are 3 other loop boats here that we know of and hope to hook up with them for docktails. More later when I can feel my fingers again! No pictures today but when the sun comes out it looks to be very pretty here.

Day 10 Annapolis MD

We left Chesapeake City around 9:00 am and arrived in Annapolis around 2pm what a wonderful day on the Bay, super calm and beautiful scenery. We will be here for a couple of days so we can spend some time seeing the sights. I captured some really nice photos and will post them later tonight. Time to wash down the boat its covered with salt. More to come later.

Day 9 Chesapeake City

Today we traveled to Chesapeake City rough going out of the Cape May canal into the Delaware Bay the waves were nasty and the current wasn't any better it was very uncomfortable. Things got better about 45 mins later and an hour after that it was beautiful. Esperanza was at the city dock when we got to our slip, unfortunately we didn't share more that a big wave as we went by, I just couldn't wait to hit the showers and Jim had a maintenance issue to tend to. But they looked right at home on the dock! Hope you get a move on sooner than later! See you down the waterway, I hope next time we can share a bottle or two.

Day 8 Leaving Cape May in the AM (hopefully)

Cape May is a very nice place to be stuck for a few days but it is time to move on! Last night 12 of us went out for dinner it was a nice evening 7 Canadians 1 Aussie 2 NH 2 Ma it was great fun! I am sure we will see them along the way as we are all heading south. We hope to get to Chesapeake City (only 4 hours up the Delaware Bay) there we will meet up with Esperanza. And the best part is we will be in MD and the Patriots play MD at 1pm it will be interesting watching the game on MD turf. Good night for now, hopefully the weather will cooperate tomorrow.

Day 6 Cape May waiting on good weather

Cruising-Is boat maintenance and repair in exotic destinations. Just finished installing new upper helm controls (was wild going into reverse all by themselves) and tested them. Sitting here with the heat on watching the rain thinking a beer or coffee? Well I guess it's a beer so I'm off to the cooler.

Day 5 Atlantic city to Cape May

Short run to Cape May with a following sea, my sewing job held up fine and it was a nice ride. here at South Jersey Marina waiting for new upper helm controls to arrive for me to install (port engine going into reverse on it's own while docking is hell ). Once I'm done and the weather improves we are off for the C and D canal.

Day 4 STILL in Atlantic City

We spent a 2nd night here as Jim needed to make some phone calls about a problem with the boat. So, laundry got done, Tuscan soup got made and little did I know that I married a seamstress, Jim actually repaired the canvas so now we have some protection from the wind. All in all a very productive day, and I can think of worst places to be. Liberty pulled into the harbour for the night as well, so we will be traveling with them when we push on to Cape May. We will spend at least 2 nights as a bad weather front is pushing in and the part Jim ordered will be delivered to the marina in a couple of days.
