In The Cheasapeake

We did start heading for Port Washington on Friday; however early in the trip we decided to head further; through HellGate, NYC, on to Atlantic Highlands. Then, by the Throgs Neck Bridge we saw "Sojourner", friends that we met along the way, they were going to do an overnight down the Jersey Coast, and suggested we come along. So that was our newest plan. We had a good current all the way to Sandy Hook. The wind was supposed to blow from the NW - a good direction for our passage; but the weather guessers were wrong again. The wind blew from the South; so we motored all night long. At least we had a beautiful full moon, and the seas weren't rough. And the best part was we arrived in Cape May NJ at 12:00 noon on Saturday! We caught a few winks, then set out to buy a few groceries, and pick up some New England Clam Chowda & shrimp at the Lobster House. The current was going to be perfect for a run up the Delaware on Sunday; so we were up early, weighed anchor at 0615, and headed out the Cape May Canal. The wind was supposed to be from the West, BUT guess what? It blew from the NW right on our nose - so again we motored up the Bay. But, It was a beautiful day, and the seas were fairly flat. We passed Chesapeake City, and motored on to the mouth of the Sassafras River where we anchored for the night by Betterton, MD, a former popular beach spot on the Bay. We actually had a mini IP rendezous - "It's About Time" & "Foggy Notion" anchored here as well. Tomorrow we will go further into the Sassafras & anchor near Georgetown, MD. Waiting to see what Earl is going to do!
