Introduction This is our boat. The top photo was taken in the Delaware River not far from our marina. The bottom photo shows our indoor winter storage in Riverside, NJ. This is a Ranger Tug 31 CB(command bridge-can be driven topside or from inside). It's powered by a single 300hp Volvo-Penta diesel.
BAR-B-Q and The Chesapeake Inn After a short distance into the Chester River, I met (on the radio) a boat named KDLOU. They are from Guntersville AL, a town we passed on our side trip to Chattanooga. KDLOU We traveled up the bay for several hours until they turned into the Sassafras River to anchor. I continued up the bay to the C&D Canal. Entering the Canal, I was quickly reminded of the commercial traffic that uses this waterway. A tow was pulling a barge full of shipping containers. Later that evening, while safely docked, a huge car carrier passed by. I was allowed to stay two nights at the free docks. Maybe I don't want this trip to end. Only 14 miles to go to complete The Great Loop. I "cross our wake" when entering the Delaware River. All loopers will head south towards Cape May, I will turn north towards Philadelphia and return to our marina at Riverside. Sunrise Last Looping Day
