Friday morning we left our anchorage in the East Wye River and went back to Annapolis where Herb and Mary left us. They had reserved a car and were headed to Williamsburg to enjoy a few days on terra firma! We were so happy they joined us for this part of our adventure.
Ned and I left the Annapolis Yacht Basin and headed North for the C&D Canal. We docked at a non-descript marina on the Delaware side of the canal and this morning continued on through the Delaware Bay and up to Atlantic City. We went offshore in the Atlantic because the Intercoastal Waterway in New Jersey is very shallow. The ocean was calm and we were only about three miles offshore. While in the Delaware Bay, we passed about ten huge freighters which was quite a change after seeing so many sailboats in the Chesapeake. Sharing the channel with ships like the one in the picture is not fun. The big guys always win.

Tonight we are at the Senator Frank Farley Marina, a public facility owned by the state of New Jersey but managed by Trump organization. There is a huge Trump hotel and casino right here, but the "Donald" was not here to greet us when we arrived. We plan to stay here tomorrow, clean the boat, do laundry, sightsee and leave Monday morning. Then its off to New York, the statue of Liberty, and the Hudson River.

Hi, Just caught up on your blog, but you are a couple of days behind. Did you get through N.Y. and where are you now? We are at the Trump marina. Decided not to donate too much money to the casino. Keep in touch.
