Sunday, October 9th, Cohansey Creek, Delaware Bay

  I got up early and snuck out to take a shower and use the internet in the lounge since we couldn’t get it on the boat.  Departure time was to be 9am to allow some depth in the Cape May Canal, yet still hopefully not having to fight the current all the way to Cohansey Creek.  Looking at the charts again, we decided to wait until 10am.  I ran to Wawa’s hoping to get a few groceries but it was just a large convenient store.

  It was near slack tide so our departure from the marina went smoothly (and also due to finally understanding to stay within 20-30 feet of the bulkhead!).  We saw depths of nearly 15 feet all through the canal, the only skinny place being near the Cape May/Lewes ferry dock.  We fought the current most of the way up the Delaware Bay, turning into Cohansey Creek around 5pm.  As with the other 2 times we anchored there, it gave us a peaceful feeling being there, like we were in the middle of nowhere, yet just around the corner from a busy freighter channel.  It was a beautiful night with a beautiful sunset.
