Sailing C&D Canal Bridges in Delaware Bay

#catamaransailing #leopard48catamaran #sailing #DelawareBay

NOTE: All C&D Canal bridges support a 135' feet ship clearance.

Our journey through the C&D Canal was quite scenic. Trails on either side of the canal are actively used for biking and hiking and they love to watch the boats transiting the canal!

When we left Sassafras River, we were going to stay at Chesapeake City, but we were making good time and the #DelawareBay tide was in our favor, so we transited the canal and made it half way down the Delaware Bay to anchor in #CohanseyRiver for the night. There are not a lot of good places to stop once you enter the Delware Bay, so having the right plan is key.

Cohansey was a beautiful, secluded marsh anchorage well protected from the winds. Strong tides but good holding. It’s a great place to lay over if you’re transiting the bay. Up the creek is Greenwich, NJ and a marina and restaurant called The Bait Box - a very local eatery and bar with indoor and outdoor seating, live music, and a local scene. Great menu and cocktails. A must stop if you layover in Cohansey River.
