Summit North Marina

We leave at 7:30 and motor-sail most of the day. Had hoped to go through the C&D canal and anchor behind Reedy Island to catch the ebb tide for a boost down the Delaware. We have been catching a current in our favor through the Canal, but high south wind and threat of thunderstorm did not make Reedy Island look like a good choice this time. We stop mid-canal at Summit North Marina that is in a bend in the old river that was part of the old canal. It is just a dead end creek without any current. Unfortunately in the morning the current will be against us for 90 minutes or so until we get in the Delaware and then we will catch the boost down the Delaware.

We have been by this marina many times. They have a huge number of docks and more than half of them are empty.

They do have a boatyard where the haul boats. Walking through the boat I would guess nearly half the boats will never get back in the water. Lots of decrepit boats that have been sitting here for years.
