Chesapeake City

Monday 10-5-09

We left the Havre de Grace city docks this morning and went up the Susquehanna River a little ways.
Amtrak runs through town.


















Wasn't sure about navigating on the river, but we maintained the same course as this experienced riverman.

















Met the Liberty Clipper coming out of the C & D Canal.

















Got into Chesapeake City a little before 3, and bid farewell to Frank and Pat on Grey Goose.  Their marina is about 5 miles on up the canal in Delaware.  We arrived early enough to get a spot on the free city dock.

















We walked through town, and over to the Canal Museum to see some model ships. 
When we returned, we were surprised to find another Rosborough tied to the city docks.

















I left my card on Nautical Noose, and later, got a phone call from the owner Richie Michael.  They came over to our boat and said hello.  They keep it in the water near Turkey Point.

  1. Honored to be part of your bay adventure!!
    Good pictures! Hate to see the summer come an end. Have a safe trip home, and safe trip to Florida for a great winter. Will keep track of your adventures, and hope to meet again.
    Happy cruising!!

  2. hi, this is cristina, ex-rossi owner, ex-yahoo group moderator. got together today with norman and betsy mason, also ex-rossi owners. we are the charter members of the original chesapeake bay rosborough rendezvous (along with mike and lita wiseman and a few others) :) we got to talking about our beloved old boats (they now have a monk 36 and i have a mariner 37 seville pilothouse) and norman mentioned the name of the person who bought "miss peggy sue" - it was richie michael. norman and betsy loved that boat but they needed something a little bigger so their kids and grandkids could come along sometimes - it broke their hearts to sell her (i can relate) and they always wondered if she was being used and loved. i sent them your blog. they'll be thrilled to see her photo :)
