 We are the blue dot ....




We traveled about 5 hours today, north northeast, into the C&D (Chesapeake and Delaware) Canal, and we're now anchored for the night outside of Chesapeake City, MD.

June/July August part III

Back on Zingara, we experienced an unforgettable evening-cruise down-river to the GM building for a live concert, with FABULOUS new friends!  Laura & Josh Hevron, Rick, Steve & Kate Long Kim & Cap'n Rick Always smiling, Jessie Hornberger Arriving at the GM Building Unfortunately, while dropping the anchor, I injured two fingers, and that cut the evening short.  I can’t even begin to thank the levelheaded, calm friends that surrounded me that night! They made what-could-have-been a disaster, into an organized, effective training for what to do in case of an accident. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! As the hand-surgery healed,    we hosted an Open Hour on Zingara, for our Pontiac Yacht Club friends! During these past two months, we really appreciated this opportunity to meet such fantastic new friends, and to reconnect with “old” ones!  But, now it was time to move on, before it gets too cold here in ...

Wednesday, June 14th -- wow! it's been over a month ago???

We left Cross Lake @ 6:45 am, went  through Locks 25-29, and finally docking in Palmyra @ ~ 2:30 pm >> 50+ Miles  Palmyra is the home of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon Church. At a nearby hill, in the early 1820s, Smith was prompted by an angel to dig up golden plates on which the Book of Mormon was written.  I guess every July, tens of thousands (over eight days) of spectators come to this tiny town for the Church’s annual celebration, and hillside performance, in Smith’s honor.

Sept 15 A Day of LOWS, HIGHS & CROWDS

We left Lagoon City and maneuvered the tricky entrance into the Trent River system.  Two smaller power boats followed us into the narrow, shallow (LOW water-depth - but fabulous scenery!) channel, edged with rocks, wild flowers, farmland, and woods.  Notice the "blue line" - it's the staging area before/after each lock, yet most also have gorgeous landscaping ! By 11:00 o’clock, we arrived at Lock #41 @ Gamebrigde.  Looking through the binoculars, nothing was happening/moving within the lock, although we could see 3 boats already staged inside.  Oh no – what’s wrong? Is something else broken?  It ended up that they were waiting for us. And the two boats behind us, too! For the next 4 hrs. and 5 more locks, Notice how you can see two previous lock in the canal behind us the 6 of us were packed like sardines into the locks. CROWDS  Rick talking with Ron, in front of us Cory & Rachael, sharing a laugh Zingara'...
