Mañana on the Loop: CHESAPEAKE CITY TO CAPE MAY

June 2- We left Chesapeake North and headed up and out of the C & D Canal (Chesapeake and Delaware Canal) for those who don't know. We entered the Delaware River with a huge freighter getting ready to enter the canal so we just made it out in time. The ride down the Delaware River was a fairly calm and sunny one until almost the end, it turned into a little bit of a washing machine effect. You enter another canal at the end of the Delaware and that took us to our next stop, Canyon Club marina at Cape May. We called into the marina as we got closer to get our slip assignment and Dave asked if we could pump out before going to our slip and we got attitude from the guy at the office. We took the longer slip this time as we had the dingy and the dock was short. This dock would have normally gone to Mist (and it was not a problem with Bill) but the guy in the office had another rude comment for us. The dock hands were great kids who treated us with respect but the guys in the office need an attitude adjustment badly. Once we were tied up we found out the wi-fi did not work and after three different stories we finally found out that their pump out was broken. At $2.95/ft this is what you got in Canyon Club marina. We had just settled in when Evelyn came over and asked us over to their boat to meet a woman who looped with them on their first loop. She had brought us a cinnamon ring that she had made from scratch. She offered to drive us to the restaurant that night in her BMW (she made 2 trips as there were six of us). We asked her to join us and she was thrilled that we had asked her. She was just a very lovely lady who could not do enough for us (which made up for the rude people at this marina).
