GL: Chesapeake City C&D Canal Days

[Jeremy Bell]

This weekend (June 27-29) is the big C&D Canal Days festival, cenetered around the basin in Chesapeake City.
This is a popular staging-point for boats heading down Delaware Bay, but anchoring and dockage is pretty severely restricted from today (Tuesday) onwards....
The USCG has special marine restrictions in place, the free dock is cordoned-off, there are temporary buoys in the anchorage, and the Chesapeake Inn Marina reports that they're pretty-much full-up.
In short, it may be difficult to find a spot here thru Sunday.
Alternatives are probably anchoring in the Sassafrass and Bohemia rivers to the West, and the Delaware City marina to the East.

At the Chesapeake Inn Marina, heading down Delaware Bay tomorrow 
$2.25/ft rather than the hoped-for 'free dock' !!
