A Piece of Rope

First of all, if you're going to be a sailor now, you'll have to learn that it is called "line", not "rope".

99 cents buys ten feet of 1/4" braided poly line (which floats) at Harbor Freight, or anywhere else. You never know what you might need it for, always have some on the boat somewhere. And if you're going to be a real mariner, learn to tie a bowline.

A piece of line can be very useful in getting in and out of the boat in tricky places. Just tie the line to the bow handle, and hold it as you climb out. You can then use the line to pull the boat up behind you, or tie it off.

I can never remember

Ten feet is plenty, more than that is just going to make a big tangle.

The Delaware River (and Bay) are too big to fit into the county-based scheme of this website, so I gave it its own top-level page. These maps include the adjacent canals, which are good places in themselves to go, but often obstruct access to the river. Zoom in to separate the markers. The orange line is the approximate limit of the Delaware River drainage.
