Over the past 10 days we have sailed down the New Jersey shore and back up the Deleware Bay with a stop in South Jersey to visit friends for a few days.
Wed Sept 30- The winds have finally calmed a bit and we headed out early with about a dozen other boats. Lower NY Bay was rough but once we turned south on the ocean we had much calmer waters and a great sail to Barnegat Light anchorage.
Thurs. Weather predicted to turn nasty tomorrow so we got an early start to make Cape May before dark. Great sailing to Atlantic City then wind veered so we had to work into rough seas the next 44 miles. Covered 138 miles in the past 2 days.
Fri- Winds now out of the south so we headed up Delaware Bay to visit our good friends Bob and Mae up the Cohansey River. Winds built to 20mph for great sailing but we were fighting a 2 mph tidal current and the waves were short and steep.
Sat thru Mon- Spent time with the LaRoys who as usual treated us royally. They supplied us with a car and some great meals, Spent the day Sunday striper fishing on the bay with Bob and a friend.
Tues-Motor up the bay and thru the C&D canal to Chesapeake City where we tied up to the free town dock. Biked around town.
Wed- Gale winds but sunny, no one traveling today. Joined about a dozen other boaters for a cocktail party in the park where we were entertained by 2 of the boaters on guitars.
