8.11.20 C&D Canal & the Delaware River. Around Cape May and to Atlantic City.

C&D Canal is one of the oldest in the country, 14 miles long and lots of cool looking bridges.  At the end of the canal, the trip down the Delaware River to round Cape May is 55 miles and for the most part not the prettiest place.  The river is very wide (20-30 miles) and has lots of shallow and marshy areas.  We found a deep river called the Cahonsey River and anchored in what looked like a big grassy marsh.  The flies thought is was a nice place also.  

We finished our way down the Delaware River, took the cut into Cape May and headed out on the Atlantic to stop at Atlantic City.  Since we are not gamblers we took in the boardwalk and ran some errands.  The town is suffering from the lack of tourism (and was before Covid hit).  Marina was a good stop though with the glittering skyline and we met some fellow loopers.
