Crossing the Delaware



Entering the Delaware City Marina

    
We were at the Delaware City Marina for a week waiting out storms. Even when it wasn't raining, the winds and waves were too rough to attempt a crossing.

Finally there was a window so we took it and left a 5am this morning and headed into the Delaware Bay in a bank of fog.
 
Russ & Elaine took the lead and I followed along with a few others behind me.  They took this photo.  After the long wait, it was a smooth crossing and we were riding with the current. We arrived at Utsch's Marina in Cape May, NJ.  From tomorrow's weather report, it appears we will be here an additional day befoe we can head north to Atlantic City.
