We left Cape May harbor via the 3nm Cape May canal. We departed a couple of hours later than planned, due to the prior night’s excitement. It was a quick trip through the canal and we were in Delaware Bay.So…
Chesapeake Sunset
We had not planned a second post tonight, but so happy and relieved by our peaceful surroundings.
72.3nm …in the Chesapeake!
A very long day, but we caught the currents and made it from Cape May harbor to the Bohemia River to anchor. The first nice anchorage we located after the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. Coincidentally, it’s also where we found…
Finally back at anchor?

If we leave now….

LBI Museum
More interesting history on island life here, with very knowledgeable and friendly volunteers. Also a rummage sale in the works that we got a head start on. Most everything we could need/want is a short walk away in Beach Haven.…
Happy Father’s Day
To all the fathers following along! Another day of small craft advisory and gusty weather, so a second night is planned here at Morrison’s in Beach Haven. Yesterday we had fun being vacationing tourists and visited the local arcade, shops,…
