The chart shows NH cruising through the Kent Narrows up the Chester River passing the Worton and Fairlee Creeks, Still Pond, Sassafras River, Bohemian River, Elk River into the C&D Canal. The tides and currents are really important in this area. The C&D Canal is the busiest in the nation and the third busiest in the world according to the Waterways Guide. NH anchors in the basin right adjacent to the Chesapeake Inn and has a wonderful afternoon and evening watching the local traffic come and go between small cruising boats, Jet skis, motor bikes, and local traffic enjoying all that the area provides.
Apologies for the quality of pictures however that’s what happens when you take a picture of a picture on you cellphone! At least it gives you an idea.
Thursday May 20th we will leave for Cape May. After studying the tides we believe the best time to leave will be around 10.30 which should give us some nice tide for the 12 mile trip through the canal and then hopefully the tide will also be in our favor from Delaware to Cape May another 62 miles. We will see!
