New York city harbour

Our anchorage in great kills harbour Staten Island NY

Tues 11 SEP 2012

New York to Cape May NJ, departed Great Kills harbour for overnight trip down the New Jersey Coast on the Atlantic Ocean.  All in all the voyage was uneventful, calm seas little wind so we “motor sailed” maintaining 5 knots to plan arrival in Cape May early morning on an incoming tide...

Wed 12 Sep 0720 hrs entered Cape May harbour! Success,  a long voyage 2 hours on, 2 hours off for 20 hours.  Anchored astern S/V Mezzaluna, & went to bed for a much deserved rest.

After resting we provisioned, updated our chart plotter with a new chip. Met up with the crews of S/V Mezzaluna & Dog Gone for a quick cocktail, then off to dinner ashore (boater style) take out & eat on the restaurant premises all self serve.  

Thursday was beach day......

Friday 14 SEP, departed Cape May for journey up Delaware Bay to C& D Canal linking Delaware Bay & Chesapeake Bay, anchored in Cohansey River, then completed the trip on Sat

Sat 15 SEP, Entered the Chesapeake & anchored for 2 nights in the Bohemian River

Monday 17 SEP, We are currently sitting at a mooring in Georgetown Maryland, a quiet little out of the way place on the east shore of the Chesapeake. Weather has turned nasty but we are in a very protected location, to wait for the next couple of days.

If our updates seem to be overdue, be patient, cruising has become a full time job & wifi is very spotty.

Rest assured that we are keeping safe and loving every minute of this...
