June 29 - Delaware City to Cape May, NJ

We left during high tide, resulting in a fast current in the direction of Cape May. This added at least 3 to 4 miles per hour to our speed. The weather was great and the ever widening river was smooth. About two hours before our arrival at Cape May, wind picked up and the tidal 

change slowed us down by two to three miles.  Around 1:30 p.m. we entered the Cape May Canal that took us to the well protected waters of Cape May. Arrangements had been made for a two night stay at the Utsch's Marina. Before docking, we wanted a pump out. Since the  

pump out system was not working, we were sent to another marina. Here the system was also out of order. At the third marina we were in luck. After tying up the night, we washed down the salt from the boat, and got ready for dinner at the nearby Lobster House. It has been a great day!
