Started the day with a walk about town in the morning. We visited the local Episcopal Church, built in 1849 and modeled after the floating churches of England. Great history lesson and wonderful to just walk around the quaint town. We ended up at a restaurant called Crabby Dick’s, relaxing, and looking at the Delaware River and the ramparts of Fort Delaware. We also partook of the beverages available to help in the relaxation. Unfortunately, we were ushered back to the boat by the thunderstorm that came through. Shortly after lunch we learned the part we needed had arrived at the marina office. Brian installed the part and all is well again — until the next issue. At 5:15 we went to the marina office to get the weather brief from Tim. He confirmed our conclusions: from 1:00am — 6:00am the easterly winds were going to be five knots or less and the current would be heading south giving us an extra push. Then from 6:00am the wind will increase to five to ten knots and the current will shift northward with the tidal flow. Therefore, we decided to depart around 3:00am (no kidding).
