October 16

Today we moved from our anchorage to a free town dock that became available. From there it was easier to take our bikes off and go for a ride. In the morning, we joined the Washers for breakfast though I had already eaten some breakfast on the boat. I limited myself to a juice and an English muffin.
We then toured the village on our bikes, spent some time reading in the public library while waiting for the post office to reopen after lunch, and visited the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Museum. The museum was small but well-done. The most impressive display was a large wheel that could move 20,000 gallons an hour. It had been used to move water from natural sources to maintain the water level in the canal.
