Its currently about 7:30 AM Saturday. Not much of a day - overcast, spitting some rain, slight wind out of the east. The wind is forecast to built to 20 kts during the day with gusts to 30 kts. But it will be on our stern quarter for most of the run up the Delaware. We are cleaning up the boat and basically killing time till the tide starts to turn.
The trip up was as expected. For most of the day we enjoyed a push from the tide. The weather was OK but nothing to write home about. We made it to the canal by about 3:00PM and headed west against the current. I had my heart set on spending the night at the free dock, but when we arrived the dock was blocked off for some reason, and we just had to keep going.
Deidre and I had contemplated anchoring in the Bohemia River on the way north. It look protected but shallow. We saw a couple of boats following us so I made contact via radio, looking for "local knowledge". Both boats planned to anchor in Bohemia so we asked if we could follow them in. This we did, and anchored in a rain storm with about 2' under our keel. Three trawlers in a row. It was too wet to be social so we watched TV and went to bed.
