Just goofing and I was looking at the Chesapeake bay on a google map. I see
the canal that connects the Chesapeake to the Delaware river.

Do sailboats use this waterway? Do the sailboats unstep their mast?


It's called the C & D Canal (Chesapeake & Delaware). Sailboats are
common, as are LARGE freighters. Sailing is not recommended but mast
height is no problem for any normal boat.
