We arrived at the Delaware City Marina by 9:42. Tim, the owner of the marina, met us at the dock and guided us as we did a 180 degree turn in the canal while the current nestled us along the dock. Tim always makes what could be a tricky docking quite seamless. This is where we will be putting Zendo up for the winter as we did last year. We chose Delaware City Marina because it’s just a 45 minute drive to Philadelphia where Stephanie lives. We left our car here and we like Tim and this sleepy little hamlet so here we are again.
We’ll be spending the next several days getting Zendo winterized, packing up our things and loading our car for the trip back to Miami. But before we leave, we have a very important responsibility and that is hosting Stephanie’s wedding to Ryan on October 28! Stephanie has done a magnificent job of planning every detail of this wedding with Ryan and of course working with both sets of parents. We are beyond excited because we think they are so well suited to each other and we adore Ryan and love to see how they are with each other. (This picture was taken at Stephanie’s bridal shower in April.)
Our 2024 cruise has been another rewarding adventure. We traveled 1,245 nautical miles cruising from Delaware City up the Hudson River to Burlington, VT on Lake Champlain. We enjoyed exploring many of the quaint towns and old cities along the Hudson River and had a wonderful time visiting new places as well as old favorites on Lake Champlain. We also cruised to various spots on the Chesapeake Bay. We had a good balance of stays on anchor, on mooring balls, at free town docks and in marinas and we enjoyed every bit of the experience.
Every year at the end of our trip we ask each other if we would like to do it again next year. And this year, like the nine years prior, we have agreed that we want to do it again. So until next year…
Sounded like a wonderful cruise and it was blogged so well! Enjoy the winter in Miami.
