We leave early, because if the Delaware Bay (which bad character) is not too removed, I would make the trip in one go. We thus avoid Isld Reeds is an anchorage uncomfortable and far too close to where we are, to make it profitable, and Cohansey River, which looks lost in the middle of nowhere and which anyway is very poorly marked on the cards.
Leaving our anchorage, we bulldozons our way through the mud, the output is 5'7'', fortunately the background is soft, it manages to engage in the channel where we have the pleasant surprise to walk to 8.5 kn, sometimes 9kn! It is expelled to the Delaware Bay and once out of channel protection we enter into a washing machine! It was soon joined by another boat Quebec (The Unforeseen), which we just learned, is the same road as us. Luckily a 25kn wind helps us move to 5.5 kn against the tide and about noon, just opposite the entrance to Cohansey River is backwards on the tide and Yallah! starts to tumble to 7.5 kn and often peaks at 9.4 kn! The wave that was decidedly unpleasant turns into a long wave 3 / 4 back 3 to 4 feet. I'm going to wipe my glasses and see clearly!
We arrived at 15:30 and we anchored at the exact same place 5 years ago. The difference is that the place is dead. The tourist season and boats is not commenced, marinas seem closed. The day was long, I crossed continuously for 9 hours a boat that constantly wanted to show his hand''dashing'', but nevertheless, it agrees with another boat Quebec enjoy the last day of fine weather From the next day to join Atlantic City that offers a better wetting than Cape May, in addition, we pressed hard at work to enjoy the first window weather and do our last great fishing trip to New York
