Cottage by the Inlet
This is our little rental cottage on Indian River Inlet near Rehoboth, De. Affordable, nice view, likes dogs. Wrapping up a week here.

Rehoboth to Lewes Canal
Renting a pontoon boat with 60 hp engine is an experience. Not the usual "slo mo" pontoon experience, this boat planed over half of the 14-mile Rehoboth to Lewes Canal, The canal is a mini version of the ICW with floating logs, marsh grass and falling-over trees.

For Rehoboth-philes...
City officials have approved a $1.35 million project on the canal to launch kayaks, canoes, boats and a water taxi. Located behind the Rehoboth Beach Museum at Grove Park, this launching area is intended
to make it possible to travel between Rehoboth and Lewes during the traffic jams of summer.

"This is just another component of multimodal transportation," said a Delaware official in government-speak.

Frankly, I can't see that this is going to produce a mother lode of humans visiting Lewes or Rehoboth, but it does have a Great Pyramid feel. -- editor
