Friday, May 18, 2012

This morning we left Chesapeake City, MD at 6:30 A.M. The forecast was for 1 foot to 2 foot seas until afternoon and then 3 foot to 5 foot seas and 20 knot winds.  We debated about whether or not to leave.  The city dock where we were staying is for 24 hours only.  So, we left and it was pretty cool this morning.  Even John had long pants and gloves on.  It wasn't too rough until we got to the wide part of Delaware Bay.  We laid everything down that we thought would get knocked over.  We cruised 71.6 miles and we arrived at 2:30 P.M.  We are at Miss Chris Marina in Cape May, New Jersey.  We will stay here until we get our weather window to cross the ocean to New York, about 150 miles.  So far the weather report doesn't sound good for almost a week.  So, we'll wait and see what happens. 

Sorry, but I didn't take any pictures today.  I didn't even have my camera on the bridge with me. What's up with that?
