Down Delaware Bay to Cape May, NJ

Smooth sailing for 62 miles down the bay to NJ, with some Atlantic Ocean swells but no drops on the windshield. If there are drops on the windshield, I always look at the marine forecast to see if we are in a Small Craft Advisory (just kidding). We limited our speed to 25 MPH due to seeing floating logs in the water. You never know if a floating small branch is attached to a non-floating underwater log beneath it.

We stayed at South Jersey Marina due to good protection from wind and wakes and floating docks (which make getting on and off the boat much easier in areas with big tides and therefore very high docks). It has the most luxurious shower/bathroom facilities we've ever seen!
We got our six miles in by walking to a touristy farm. The market featured Gouda Cheese With Beer and Jalapeño Eggs. On the Inside Passage of British Columbia, Colby would have to motor for over an hour (at his Maximum Cruising Speed of 5 MPH) to get to the nearest First Nation convenience store that carries those items. even then, they may be out, especially if Bill and Mike got there first.
There are lots of nice homes and flowers and a ten-block area of creameries and tourist shops. We shared a soft style ice cream and each bought a 250 flag T-shiret. The church has been raffling off a new car each year since Eileen was a kid. She says one of the nuns always win the raffle, but that's 'just coincidence.'Read more
