Easy 65 miles today

We are at a marina along the C&D canal. This links the Chesapeake and Delaware bays. Totally wild here with tiki bar and live music. The dock attendants were excellent and ready to help as we pulled in. The food is terrible and my draught beer was $7, but if you want to party this is your marina (The Chesapeake Inn). Note: Don’t boat in this area at night as everyone is drunk boating! 

Tomorrow we head down the Delaware to Cape May, where we will finally be forced out into the ocean swell. We have a tail wind and outgoing tide, so maybe Betsy will break a mile per gallon. Today we cruised more slowly at 15-17 knots, so we can can compare the fuel consumption when we fill up in NJ. 

New feature for the blog. BOTD (boat of the day):

I took a video too, rumbling cammed V8 or two under that hood! Will post later. Damn it sounded incredible. I was hoping he would put the hammer down when he left the marina, but I could still hear him idling as he passed under the bridge. 

I got the drone up briefly. It will require practice. Flying the drone is one thing, but also managing the camera and taking amazing shots is going to take some work. The quality is incredible. I do not look forward to video editing!
