Left C&D Canal and fought a current to the Delaware. So an ebb tide on the Delaware flows across the C&D to the Chesapeake???? But once we were in the Delaware we flew down to Cape May at 9 knots.
Some shots from Tuesday. RR brige on the canal at 0530. Lighthouse in the bay. Ship John Shoal.
Went through the Cape May Canal and straight to the ocean for the 40 miles to Atlantic City. Our longest day yet: 108 statute miles in 14 hours?
Outside (ocean vs ICW) is so superior. Not depth fiinder harping at us. Straight line navigation. Not tides fighting us.
Anchored in Rum Pt, a little basin just inside the inlet. After the day we had, we renamed the place Rum Pint.
This morning, Wednesday, chose the outside route to Manesquan despite NW winds and SE swells. It was almost 20 miles shorter than the "ditch".Great choice. Made it to Manesquan Inlet in 8 hours. Anchor down. Hope to get into the Hudson tomorrow.
