On a dismal, overcast morning we approach Delaware Bay with our wounded stern. There was enough wind to put up the headsail and move along. Mother Nature gave us a free shower. Its always a pretty site to see tugs moving barges to various locations. We encountered 2 such beauties on the Bay and happily get out of their way. Our destination is Delaware City Marina, just past the C&D Canal approach. It is a sleepy, tiny town. The canal walk is tastefully done with red brick and park lighting from the marina into the town. Yes, the town has ice cream which kicks it up a notch!
We were disappointed with the harbormaster at the marina. Tim needed an attitude adjustment. He gladly ordered parts for us when we gave him the specific part numbers, not a problem. When the wrong part came in and he had to return it...he was not a happy camper with us. No bones about it.
He had recommended a welder and made the first contact for us. The welder, Kerry, met with us once and then never came back or returned phone calls as promised. We pulled up and moved on to Sassafras River where the experience did a 180. Encountering people like Tim & Kerry only makes you appreciate the good people even more.
