While sailing in the Delaware bay, we noticed (I, noticed), four dolphins and Spruce only saw one.  By the time 1:39 PM came around the bay decided that it would give us a run for our money and threw everything at us, high seas, wind and a current to buck.  We were becoming very concerned when 3:00 PM had rolled around and we still had miles to before we slept.  Once we reached the power plant and turned towards the C and D Canal, the Delaware river calmed down and the current turned in our favor.  We ended up arriving at Delaware City around sunset and staying at Delaware City Marina for two days.  Delaware City was a small quiet town with a Civil War Fort across the way from us. The fort was very large and had actual people reenacting in the different areas of the fort.  If you visit Delaware City, eat at Kathy’s and Crabby Dick’s, YUm!!
