This 17 mile long canal connects the north end of Chesapeake Bay to
Delaware Bay. We chose Schaefer’s Marina at the west end, one
of just a few marinas along the canal, to spend the night. Another
interesting place. Nothing much here as marinas go, just a long dock
to tie up to, but a nice restaurant on site and an outdoor bar playing
great 50’s music. Woke at 5:30 the next morning to fog &
light rain. Luckily, the fog lifted and we were on our way by 8:45;
we had a long run ahead, planning to get through the C&D Canal
and Delaware Bay to Cape May, NJ, today. This lighthouse is in Delaware
Bay.
