Crossing the Delaware to Ocean City, MD

Yesterday we got up real early and left Cape May, NJ bound for Maryland – thats right, Delaware doesn’t even get a stop… poor tiny little Delaware.

Cape May has a beautiful wide deep inlet, but as soon as we reached the end of the jetty there were steep standing waves. The wind wasn’t that strong, but it was blowing out of the west-northwest and what we didn’t realize was a strong current flowing into the Delaware bay around Cape May, this meant wind opposing the current resulting what feels like being in a washing machine. As the day wore on we both got less green and by the time we were skipping over the Delaware coast it had gotten positively nice out. 40 some odd miles later we approached the Ocean City inlet which we timed perfectly wrong to find ourselves trying to motor into a rapidly outflowing current. Ocean City has some pretty sweet carnival rides & rollercoasters that are sadly closed for the season, but thankfully the corn dog stand was open!Read more
