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.

C&D Canal museum |
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.
