On to Cape May New Jersey

We finally got under way on Saturday morning bright an early to catch the tide in our favor for the trip down the Delaware Bay.  The wait was worth it. The weather was good and the currents carried us up to 11 miles an hour at times.  The crossing of the Delaware went great.  We then entered into Cape May canal which took us on into our marina for the night.  We chose to stay at the highly suggested Utsch's Marina. What a nice surprise, they give everyone a bottle of sangria.  We found ourselves in a small town and a shark fishing tournament was going on at the marina down the street.  Not a good day for the poor sharks. This  area coming up was hit the hardest by Hurricane Sandy.  There are many areas that we will have to be very careful in traveling because of all the shoaling and destruction. Actually we are sitting at anchor now waiting for the tide to rise so we can go through this area. We had hoped to make Atlantic City tonight but I do not think that will happen since we are sitting at anchor waiting now.
