After a buffet dinner of kid food (hoagies, mini cheeseburgers, fried chicken, roasted potatoes or fries, etc.) plus a healthy salad alternative, we boarded our two DUKWs and headed out for the Delaware. It was getting late and spitting rain, so the route was changed and we went right into the Delaware first. For some reason I don't fully understand, our Duck went in first and then hung around until the second Duck came in. (Their captain wasn't waiting for them at the ramp so they had to wait. Our captain was on board.) So we got two runs around the part of the river where the Ducks go...about 3/4 mile south of our entry ramp. I think we were in water for close to an hour.

Not great photographic conditions for a point and shoot so my photos have an impressionistic quality, like a lot of Pissarro cityscapes. You can click through and see the other 11, if you're interested. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously.
