C&D Canal Closed 2
I have boated in it several times. I don’t have any pictures on it on the website, because, frankly, canals are boring. They are the same width for their entire length, gracefully adorned with rick-rack.
Now it’s closed from a shipwreck on the Chesapeake end (C&D means Chesapeake and Delaware–the C&D Canal is the unofficial boundary between upper and (s)lower Delaware, though the suburbs are rapidily moving south beyond the canal. Hummer homes are sprouting all over lower New Castle and upper Kent Counties).
Just as there is really no excuse for a collision between cars, there is no excuse for a collision between boats. If both boaters follow the rules, they will see and avoid each other.
There’s really not much to it. Safe boating is taking time and using good sense, and using your running lights at night.
- Pay attention.
- Watch the Danger Zone.
- Don’t stop paying attention.

We have coustomers who we work for that lives up there, he has a house on the Chesapeak bay. I like boating, I’ve had a few in my life.

This is completely unrelated, but Chris, who are you?
