20 September Chesapeake City

Chesapeake City basin

Convenient, compact, historic and friendly. Chesapeake City is a little treasure on the south side of the C&D canal. There's a recently dredged basin of 3m depth where ten boats can anchor on short scope and 60m of town dock where you can tie up alongside for 24 hours with access to power and water. We were last to arrive in the evening and anchored. Next day we moved on to the dock. The only cost is $10 for water and $15 if you wish to take power. We took water and Jackster got a much needed clean and tank fill.

 The town sits on the land side of the basin and on the canal side is a Naval Corps base and a canal museum in the building which was the original waterwheel for the lock. Today the canal is lower, deeper and wider and there are no locks.

In the early morning there was a river mist lending an ethereal quality to the stillness.
