A quick update, because Internet service is poor. We escaped Baltimore two days ago, leaving right after a morning thundershower. A few hours later, we encountered rain for a bit, but since then, we have left behind the rain and the humidity. We anchored the first night out on the Sassafrass River on the northeast side of the Chesapeake Bay. We pulled up anchor at 3 a.m. and headed to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, and after getting through that easily, we sailed down the Delaware Bay. Toward the end of the day, the wind died and we had to motorsail around the cape, passing the historic lighthouse, and then go north for an hour before entering the Cape May Inlet. We anchored near the Coast Guard station for the night. More of our adventures here in a later post!
Fortunately for us, a couple in their thirties whom we met at the Anchorage Museum accepted our invitation to sail as far as NYC with us. Ula and Enis have been a blessing. Ennis is a very knowledgeable sailor and Ula is a great chef, so they have made life very easy for us. We are delighting in their company.
I hope I will be able to post a lot more in a couple of days. We leave tomorrow morning for a day on the open ocean en route to New York Harbor.
