Wrap Up Before The Wrap Up, the Rogue's notes.

"It is easier for us to go down to the sea in a small ship, than to remain on dry land..." - Jack London
Jefferson's Creek/Assawoman Canal; the Intercoastal connect between MD and DE inlets. 11/21/2021

     Brought our boatin' and fishin' season to a close. The annual last "Cruise of the Snark." Has become a real seasonal tradition for my wife and I. Jetted north towards Fenwick and Lighthouse Cove on a a relatively calm, but chilled November weekend. Cruised through Little Assawoman Bay. Into Little Bay. Glided about mile up Jefferson's Creek towards the entrance of Assawoman Canal. In an out of some of the canals of  South Bethany's bayside before turning back towards the Ditch. 

Ready...let's go!

Into the St. Martin (river).

North OC Bayview.

The "Canal."

Back creek

   Fuel stop...Catch 54, Fenwick. Oysters, beer, Fried Chicken, beer, 54 Burger, beer. Darted south across the Big Assawoman. Fished the Route 90 Bridge- threw a line in for the last few times of the year (no catch). Headed back to the Pines. Sun peaked in and out, otherwise an overcast day. But, stoked to get out on the bay one more time before sending the Jet in to be winterized and wrapped. Chill day trip....in more ways than one. Be glad when the warm weather returns, and our water-time begins again.
