Present Day

We are going to race ahead a little bit to get everyone up to speed and show you where we are now. After leaving Atlantic city and spotting our first pod of Dolphins we made our way to Cape May. After overnighting there it was up the Delaware , across the C&D Canal, and down the Chesapeake to Annapolis City where we are now. The anchorage is very peaceful and well protected and we will spend a few days hear resting and reprovisioning. We have met some fellow boaters on the same route, Ray and Irene from Manchester, England, and Chad and Lee Ann from Michigan. Together we have braved the cold wet weather of the last two days and all are looking forward to some sun. From here it's southward along the Chesapeake toward Norfolk, Virginia and the ICW.

The Erie Canal

The Erie Canal was gorgeous. Miles of scenic boating. Like driving through corn fields and peach Orchards.

Lake Huron at Kincardine

We have brought along Olivia the Pig who will sneak into shots. She's so bold. Can Olivia and Lucas find her in other pictures?

Boating Friends say Goodbye

Catching Up!!

Our trip so far has carried us down the Great Lakes chain, across Georgian Bay, down Lk. Huron, Lk Erie and into the Erie Canal at Buffalo. The Erie canal has led us east to the Hudson River where we turned south to New York City and into the Atlantic. Following the coast line stops were made in Atlantic City and Cape May before turning north again up Delaware Bay. At the head of the Delaware we entered the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal which brought us to Chesapeake Bay. For the first time we are now on a straight southward journey with every mile made being a mile southbound. We are in Annapolis City now after a short stay in Baltimore Harbour. Further posts will be far more informative and give a daily perspective of the things we are doing, the sights we are seeing and the people we are meeting. We hope you enjoy following our progress and look forward to your comments.
