6/6/14: This morning we left Baltimore, Maryland heading to Delaware City, Delaware.  The NOAA forecast of 5 knot winds & 1’ waves was wrong. At least NOAA is consistently wrong. LOL. We clocked the wind at 18 knots and the waves were at least 3 footers. So half our day was in those conditions and then when we got into the C&D Canal the wind was 5 knots and no waves.

We arrived at the Delaware City Marina around 14:30. We had heard that the dock crew was top notch professionals and we found this to be true. First off you come down this canal to the marina and they tie your boat up (side tie floating docks) starboard. Then the dock crew turns your boat around (using dock lines) so you are facing outward for an easy exit. It was a really cool thing to see.

Every day at 17:15 hrs the staff at the marina has a weather briefing meeting. Not only did we find out about weather but it was educational as well. We just love this place.

Our original plan was to leave tomorrow, Saturday, and head to Cape Mae. However the extended forecast for travels beyond that just do not look good. So we decided to wait out the weather here at Delaware City Marina.
