Clicking Off Miles (And Lots of Diesel)

We have covered alot of miles since leaving Port Washington NY on Friday. The rain from Tropical Storm Lee and the path of Hurricane Katia was no longer a concern. The first leg was to Sandy Hook, NJ. We had an easy ride through Hell Gate, the water in NY Harbor was really gross because of upstate flooding, but little debris. We decided to leave at 0400 from Sandy Hook to travel to Atlantic City (80 miles) on Saturday. It wasn't too bad leaving in the dark, and it made it possible for us to arrive in Atlantic City 13 hours later at 1700. This was a total motoring trip because when the wind finally came up, it was on our nose! Today we were hopeful about some sailing to Cape May, NJ - but no - all motoring again. At least we are now through with the Jersey coast! Tomorrow it is up the Delaware! Hopefully we will sail - the forecast is for SW winds - 5 - 10 knots - we'll see!
