Get The Beaver!
We’re sitting snug at Summit North Marina on the C&D Canal. The front that went through yesterday resulted in cool temps (47 right now at 10 AM) and brisk winds (gusting to 19 MPH so far). Since we have no place to be at any parti…
Up Delaware Bay in Photos
The trip up the Delaware Bay was totally uneventful, other than hitting a fog bank. The winds were out of the east but light. We managed to ride a slack current bubble most of the way and did around 7.5 knots until the last couple of hours …
Cruising Up Delaware Bay. Booooring.
We left Cape May at 6:30 in pea soup fog. The canal was a real challenge. Pam stood on the bow looking and listening for other boats while I steered by the chart plotter. There must have been some current in there because I got …

The nor’easter in pictures and videos
The north eastern part of the US got clobbered by a storm yesterday that brought record early snow. Just west of Manasquan Inlet (where we are) got close to a foot of snow. We had a few flurries here but that was it. Looking at the ne…
