Saturday
5/05 We had a short run over to Delaware City Marina today. We timed our
arrival at low tide (no current . . . but it is low tide). Tim, the
marina owner, is very engaging and entertaining.
1)He
said call when we get to the Reddy Point bridge
2)
He gave us instructions to our next position and asked us to call him on ch. 09
VHF when we get to red bouy 6A.
3)
at that point he indicated that we were coming in at dead low tide and we could
either follow his instructions or wait for the ferry to return (1/2 hour) and
follow them in through the low spots of the channel. We opted to follow his instructions and 10 minutes later we were securely tied to the
dock.
Tim (Clarke) got out on the C&D canal bike path (awesome) and rode back to Summit North Marina.

Post lunch we did a little
walk around town with Millie (aka
Grandma).

The hi-light was the blacksmith shop. We had a tour by one of the regular people that hang out there. They were just finishing up a beautiful iron gate (can't show a pic of that because the owner has not seen it yet). It was a really cool place performing incredible works of craftsmanship.
After a little down time, we met at the marina office to get some local advice on our passage south on Delaware Bay tomorrow; looks good but we were given a site to check before we head out on the morning.We headed over to Crabby Dicks
and had some dinner while watching the Kentucky Derby and the Celts / 76ers
game. It got very quiet in the bar after the Celts won this close game.
