Angles and Dangles

October 1.
Our new friend, the submarine officer,  taught us what they do when a submarine first goes out to sea. They rotate it in every direction and angle to make sure everything is properly tied down- so as not to make any noise when traveling.  They call this procedure "angles and dangles".  We experienced our own angles and dangles today...only not on purpose!  We left Cape May and travelled to Georgetown, Maryland.  The time through the Delaware Bay was rough.  Not quite as bad as Eerie, but it was rough enough. It was interesting to be engulfed in a sea of salt! Then we entered the Delaware River, and discussed George Washington's crossing on Christmas Day (farther to the North of us). What an incredible thing he and his men accomplished!!  Then we entered the C and D canal, (Chesapeake and Delaware) and it was beautiful.
We crossed into the Chesapeake Bay and came to a town called Georgetown.  It is a quaint town with amazing crabcakes!! What a day, again.  Thank you Lord!!
