The 50 mile voyage up the Delaware Bay from Cape May to the C&D Canal can be uncomfortable, or even down right dangerous. There are no safe harbors (for a large vessel such as "Whatever It Takes) between Cape May and the C&D Canal and the Bay is known to kick up quickly. The last time I traveled the Delaware (two weeks ago) we were fighting four foot seas when we arrived at Cape May.
Today was nothing short of perfect. I left Cape May at 7:00 am with a rising tide and one foot waves. By 10:00 the waves had diminished to the flat water shown on the video below. I was in the C&D Canal by 11:45 and docked at the Bohemian Bay Yacht Harbor by 2:30.
Dinner tonight was hot dogs smothered in some left over spaghetti meat sauce I made 3 or 4 weeks ago. It tasted much better than it sounds.

For the girls (I lost to myself) |
I sure wish I could be there with you, but you seem to be OK!
