Cape May, NJ

We departed Delaware City this morning about 8 am.  I had real reservations about leaving.  The weather front had stalled over Delaware Bay and I was not sure about the weather.  As it turned out, it was a very pleasant crossing.  More answered prayers!!  The Delaware Bay is large and relatively shallow.  In addition it has a north-south orientation and has a very strong current.  The tide here is 4-5 feet.  If a strong South wind kicks up, it can be real nasty.  None of that happened.  It was a great day.  We are now at anchor in Cape May, which is a fishing community at the tip of New Jersey.  We will head up the intracoastal tomorrow.  All is well except we are very tired after a full day of traveling.  We still must eat, walk the dog, (which is an adventure itself) and prepare for tomorrow.
