We left Chesapeake City around 10:30 a.m. What a beautiful day and scenery. The trees were just beginning to change, but the temperature was about 85F. No wind, sunny and super hot! Albert & I went through 6 bottles of water and we only went about 20 miles!
The Sassafrass River is considered by many one of the most beautiful in the Chesapeake. It is a winding river, lined with trees and few houses until you get right up into Georgetown (10.5 miles in). We picked up a mooring ball at the Georgetown Yacht Basin. This is just one of about 6 marinas all within the space of 1 mile.
For the past week or so, we've been seeing Canada geese (by the hundreds), a few bald eagles, cormorants, buzzards and what Albert thinks are Roseate terns, Foster terns and Bonaparte gulls. This morning Albert watched a Foster tern dive and pick up a little fish, flip it up in the air and then swallow it on the way down. Cool!
We will probably be here until Sunday due to windy weather on the way. But this is no problem for us. Showers, laundry, stores and great people make this an easy stay. Pete is getting hauled out as I write this to put on a new prop. Since he changed gearboxes, his speed has diminished and thinks that by changing from his new prop to his old one, this problem will be resolved.
Last night was calm, moonlit and just lovely. A couple came by in a kayak...Liz & Paul Day. We chatted and this morning Liz drove us to a grocery store and when we returned, we joined her and Paul in a gazebo for a snack and a chat. Very friendly and informative people. They gave us helpful hints about the Chesapeake and the trip south. They have already done it.
Going up to the Marine Store - there's a sale! hahahahaha. Later...

C & D Canal
We left Cape May at 11 a.m., traversed the Cape May Canal dodging tugs towing barges and ferries and after about a half hour of lumpy waves, headed up Delaware Bay which actually turned out to be very calm (less than 1 ft. waves) and arrived at the Cohansey River at 6:20 pm. This river is all marshland and the river winds back and forth. We anchored in 25 ft. with a full moon rising. Beautiful! After a supper of Tacos, Albert & I sat in the cockpit enjoying the moon and the quiet.
We left the Cohansey River about 7:00 a.m.Tuesday morning and rode the flood tide to the C&D Canal averaging 7.8 knots. Once in the C&D canal, we continued on to Chesapeake City (about a 2/3 down the canal). We anchored in a quiet little pond (11:30 a.m.) at Chesapeake City Basin and waited for Radical Jack to catch up. They arrived around 2:30 p.m. having left Cape May at 4:00 a.m.
We noticed that Dick & Ruth (S/V Grace C. and are heading south as well) were already anchored here and they joined us for cocktails, etc. aboard Tip Toe. I can’t believe it! It’s 8:30 p.m. and I’m in a tank top and shorts and it’s October 14th! Wow! Now we all feel that we’re actually doing it! This is what we’ve been waiting for!!!! Yahoo! So now it’s time for bed (soon) and we’ll decide tomorrow morning when our heads are a little clearer (hahaha) where we will head next. Chesapeake Bay here we come!!!

Cape May
We’ve finished the Jersey coast…YAY! We’re on a slip at the Utsch’s Marina in Cape May. What a beautiful place. We got a complimentary bag of goodies with wine, biscotti, home-made soap and a few other things. They’ve got beautiful showers, lots of laundry facilities, cable TV and are within walking distance of stores – all for $2.00 per foot! This is a family owned and operated marina since 1951 (sound familiar (d’Eon Boatbuilding). They own all their own travel-lifts, backhoes, etc. and keep the price of their fuel reasonable. Great place and great people.
We figured we were safe here…wrong! This morning Pete awoke to find his dinghy stolen! The Utsch’s crew took him in a speed boat to search and believe it or not, they found it tied to the outside docks! I guess somebody took it for a joy ride, but were kind enough to at least tie it up once they were done! What next?! The staff was appalled that this could happen here and told Pete to contact the Jersey police, which he did. They were very nice, but there was nothing to do since it was back with Radical Jack.
So now, Heather & I are showered and doing laundry. For some reason, I am the only one in the whole marina who can’t seem to log on to the internet! I keep trying, however I’m not having much luck. But we’re all making the best of things. We’re having a glass of wine while the men are doing boat stuff.
Sunday – we’ve spoken to a lot of people here and there are differing opinions about when to leave for Delaware Bay. The only consensus is that Delaware Bay is the worst stretch of water to travel. Albert has decided to leave at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow (Monday) and fight the tide for a couple of hours in the Cape May Canal then ride the flood up Delaware Bay to the Cohansey River (34 miles away) before dark. Then, the next day we’re close to the C&D canal which leads into the Chesapeake. Pete has decided to wait until Tuesday morning and leave at 4:30 a.m. and try to make the C&D Canal (47 miles away) in one day. Either way, we should be in the Chesapeake soon. Then we should be home free…lots of anchorages and short days. Yay!
We walked to a grocery store that was supposed to be about 1 ½ miles away…at least 2 miles later we finally found it! Needless to say, we took a taxi back to the marina. Hahah. And yes, we’re both still losing weight!
‘Til next time…

Atlantic City
Well, here we are in Atlantic City! What a ride! We left Manasquan at 7 a.m. and everything was great until about 2 p.m. when the wind started picking up and the waves got bigger. We got here about 5 p.m. and the last two hours were quite an adventure. TipToe performed really well riding the waves like a duck and only taking the odd extra big wave over the bow. But now we’re anchored in a little pond, which is very calm and protected.
The Radical Jack crew turned in early so Albert & I spent the early part of the evening watching the “Harrah’s” tower change pictures from our cockpit. There’s a hologram on the whole side of the building that changes from the US flag, to fireworks, to rolling dice, to slot machine 777’s and it just keeps changing. Really cool! From here (using binoculars) we can see the Trump tower, Trump Taj Mahal tower and Bally’s tower as well as several others. But the only one with the changing pictures is the Harrah’s. (Guess Donald’s too cheap! Hahahahaha)
Today, Thursday, we spoke with two other boats in the anchorage who are also going to the Abacos. Guess we’ll be seeing them along the way as well. Since Heather wasn’t feeling well, she & Pete stayed aboard Radical Jack while Albert & I decided to sight-see Atlantic City. We took the dinghy into Gardner’s Basin (across from the anchorage) where we visited an aquarium, then took a Jitney bus (mini bus) into Atlantic City. We walked the boardwalk and went into the Trump Taj Mahal to gamble. We spent $15.00 and came out with $20. So Mr. Trump is out five bucks!!! We also went into Bally’s and decided that all casinos were the same except for their exterior. Inside, we could have been at the Casino Halifax and never noticed any difference.
We took a Jitney back and had supper at the Flying Cloud restaurant then back to the anchorage. Heather was feeling better so we dropped in for cocktails, then back to TipToe. We’re all heading for Cape May tomorrow (Radical Jack, TipToe and two other boats in the anchorage). Pete found out the Utcher’s Marina is only $2 per foot so we’ll tie up there for a couple of days waiting for good weather to do Delaware Bay. They’ve got Wifi, cable, showers, laundry, etc. so I’ll be able to post my thoughts on my blog. Right now I’m writing on a Word document so I won’t forget my first impressions.

Sandy Hook & Manasquan, NJ
Once we got back to the boat, we ended up anchoring because we were on yacht club moorings, not harbour moorings. Oops! Found out later that the yacht club charged $13.00 for showers! I mean really…we weren’t that dirty!!!!!!
Then, we got a call from Brenda (Muth) Lovie who we had met about 13 years ago when she and her then husband Edwin came to Pubnico via sailboat. We had spent a few great days with them, their friends and Peg & Brad. Peggy had let Brenda know we were in New Jersey, hence the call. We arranged to meet up after supper and had drinks with Brenda and John. What a good time we had catching up on our lives, kids and reminiscing. It was like time had stood still. They promised to come and visit next summer. Really looking forward to that!
We left Sandy Hook early Tuesday morning and set off for Manasquan. The coast of New Jersey is one long sand beach dotted with houses…as far as the eye can see! We found a marina with slips (no moorings anywhere) and had to go through a bascule railroad bridge. (see picture) This was the first of many more to come along the trip. I might as well get used to it! The marina was immediately after the bridge. After showers, Albert & I headed into the little town of Brielle to look around and find a restaurant for supper. Had the best hamburger ever (Albert) and my Hawaiian pizza was second to none! Brought some back for the trip to Atlantic City.
Left Manasquan at 7:00 a.m.(Wednesday) and are now headed for Atlantic City 47 miles away. It’s gonna be a long day…

New York Harbour
“Start spreadin’ the news…” (Frank Sinatra) My first impressions of New York were smelly, smoggy and noisy – then it got better! Hahahaha. Albert was right again! The tides and current were a non-event. I’m glad we were on the water though, because we watched 13 (I kid you not) police cars in a row drive by with their lights a-flashing. The East River had no traffic to speak of. We watched the planes land and take off at La Guardia airport every 2 or 3 minutes. It was really cool. Then we went past Rikers Island (I took pictures for all you Law & Order fans). Hell’s Gate was like a mill pond. Manhatten is just sky-scrapers – lots of them!
We didn’t really meet any water traffic until we got to where the Hudson River meets New York Harbour. And boy was there traffic! Helicopters (4 of them) taking off and landing on a platform, water taxis, tour boats – you name it! Then we saw the Statue of Liberty in the distance. What a sight! Then we headed for the Narrows Bridge. BIG freighters coming in while we were going out. Two cruise ships passed us by – the Norwegian Dawn & the Norwegian Spirit. (Thought of you Brad – wasn’t your ship the Norwegian Jewel?)
Now, we’re tied to a mooring at Atlantic Highlands (Sandy Hook, NJ). Heather & Pete came over for a cocktail and we toasted to a great day. We all feel like we’ve turned a page to a new chapter of the voyage. We may be here for a couple of days because you’re not supposed to attempt to go down the New Jersey coast when the wind has an East in it. What the heck…we’ll wait. We don’t have to be anywhere!
Update...Right now we're sitting outside a Public Library because it isn't open on Mondays. But we can still connect to their wireless! Yay! So we're here for today and will hopefully move tomorrow to Manasquan. 'Til later...

Port Jeff
Well, I'm loving this place! You can walk right around the Town in a circle. Cute little shops...I discovered the Bakery this morning! Wow! I could have just stayed there!!!!! Yesterday, Ed Gatz (owner of Silver Bay Marine - we picked up one of his moorings) drove Albert to Home Depot & West Marine. He's been more than kind to us - whatever we want, he'll try to accommodate. We'd also like to mention the Harbour Master, Peter Koutrakos and his lovely assistant, Diane Salazar. They were both very friendly and helpful. Great people here at Port Jefferson! This is a port not to be missed.
We had breakfast at Starbucks and picked up lunch/whatever (Spinach & cheese quiche) at the Bakery for back on the boat (along with a mini apple pie with crumb topping!) Yummy!!!!! We're now at the Library posting our blog and I'll finally get to upload the picture of the swan eating our Ritz cracker.
There's still a small craft warning for today, so we'll anchor just inside the mouth of the harbour tonight to get an early start tomorrow. Should be a good one. We'll see what the day brings...

Fishers I, Thimble Islands, Port Jeff
We left Block Island once the rain stopped and headed for West Harbour, Fishers Island. We decided to go through the channels on the eastern side of the island instead of trying to make “The Race” on the western end because we didn’t think we’d make it before the tide turned. That was a good idea. All we had to contend with was the current from all the water emptying out of the various harbours on the Connecticut side. Pete, on the other hand, ended up in “The Race” and encountered freighters and a submarine! At one point he was only doing 0.5 knots against the current. We both picked up moorings. Nobody was around and no answer at the Yacht Club. So our night was free.
Pretty spot – sand beaches and a family of four swans came by for food – which we happily obliged (see picture). Although they hissed at the gulls competing for the bread, we still enjoyed seeing them. I have never seen swans except in parks.
Since it was giving good weather for Tuesday, we set off for the Thimble Islands – down the coast on the Connecticut side of the Sound. Flat seas and calm winds brought us to a little anchorage amongst the islands. There were moorings there, so we picked one up. This place reminds us of Dover – not far from Peggy’s Cove – except that there were houses built on the rocks on every island. Very picturesque. I figure if these people saw how barren our islands are back home, they’d go nuts! There’s no room between the houses here, either along the shores or on individual islands!
Wednesday morning we planned on leaving early again, but the weather forecast was calling for imminent thunder storms, so we waited a couple of hours. Around 9:00 a.m. we decided that the threat of storms was done so we set off across the sound to the Long Island side to Port Jefferson. It was quite a rolly passage, but about half way the chop subsided and we motorsailed into Port Jefferson, met the ferry on the way in, and picked up a mooring at 2:00 p.m.
Port Jefferson is really nice. The people we’ve met so far have been very helpful. There’s two big ferries that travel in and out. There’s also nobody on any of the boats around here – just us! There are swans here too. Two came up to the boat and Albert fed them Ritz crackers. Check out the picture of the swan with a Ritz in his mouth. His neck was stretched up to our cockpit!
They’ve just built a new building with showers and washer & dryer. I think I’m the first to use the washer & dryer. We walked around town yesterday, stopped in a pub for late lunch (early supper) and Papa watched a bit of a World Series game. There’s not much for groceries, so we only picked up a few little things.
Today, we’ll take in a few more sights and, because it’s giving wind on the nose again today, we’ll probably stay another night on the mooring. We’re close to shore there, so can get back and forth to town easily. Tomorrow night, we’ll most likely move to the head of the harbour where there’s a little cove where we can anchor so we can make an early start on Saturday. Not sure where we’ll be going, depends on the weather. We’re trying to get to Port Washington which will be the starting off point to go through Hell’s Gate & the Narrows in New York City. We have to time the tides right for that passage which will then take us on to Sandy Hook, the start of the New Jersey coastline.
