Up the Delaware and Through the C&D Canal

By Andy, Tuesday, September 17, 2013 - 12:50

Sept. 15 - Woke up to a beautiful sunny calm day. Motored out of Cape May Inlet and started up the Delaware. What a day. Passed by lots of large cargo ships, etc. Wound up doing over 60 miles from anchorage in Cape May Harbor to anchorage behind Reedy Island just before C&D Canal. Had light winds for most of the day but around two o’clock picked up following wind and strong following current. By the time we got to the head of the Bay we were doing over 9.5 knts with main and iron jenny (needed to make the time to get to Reedy anchorage before dark).
