Fenwick Island, Delaware – 06 May 18

Up and ready to pack up the motorhome, it’s time to move on today.

A quick Stop at Lowe’s to pick up a BBQ or Grill (which we should probably start to call it) and a restock of food supplies.

Next, to the Cape May ferry terminal to catch the Cape May – Lewes Ferry to Delaware. Making the 27 km crossing of Delaware Bay will save us travelling back up the New Jersey cape.

I was very excited about this ferry crossing, the boys couldn’t have cared less. The weather was wet and cold and they just wanted the iPads. I caved and gave them the iPads.

The process of boarding the ferry with the motorhome was very easy, I think they have done this before. Although, so have the Greeks and that ferry experience doesn’t seem to get any easier.

Parked the vehicle underneath the ferry and then upstairs for a bite to eat and ferry crossing seating. The crossing was misty and foggy with not a lot to see. However, it was very relaxing moving back and forth with the boat, watching the water pass and doing nothing at all for an hour and a bit.

Across the bay we arrived in Delaware and to another motorhome problem. We have snapped off the bucket key in one of the locks. No key, no help (Sunday) and of course, the one bucket that is locked has all of the hoses and cords in.

We have had to change our plans slightly and instead of travelling to Cape Charles we will stay nearby and try and get a new key. Fortunately, we have managed to salvage both of the broken bits. Sorry Dad, we tried to stay at your namesake.

We tried Lowe’s, Home Depot, Locksmiths, nobody could help us. Eventually, after using that magic device ‘Google’, we decided to drive to a campground and see if another camper had a key to fit, apparently they are fairly universal.

Luckily the campground was very helpful and pointed us in the direction of a local hardware store. Success, they managed to replicate the key.

A settle in at our Treasure Beach RV Park & Campground, a short run for me and some outside play for the boys.

Dinner across the highway, some more play for the boys and time to relax ready for a new day.
