From Falmouth you could close-reach SSE down to the latitude of Delaware Bay and then tack in. Cape May is a lovely little town, but I'm not a fan of the canal. Can you fit under the fixed bridge? If not, consider anchoring behind the inner breakwater at Cape Henlopen. If you don't fit under the Cape May bridge the total distance covered is about the same as going into and out of the Cape May inlet. If you want to get off and stretch your legs Lewes DE is right there and is also a nice little town. Cape Henlopen is an easy set up for running up the DE Bay or heading back out toward Cape Henry. > It looks like Atlantic Highlands is the place to wait for a window to run the > Jersey coast and it looks like Atlantic City is the only safe duck-in on this > coast. I've been in a number of other inlets along NJ but agree that Atlantic City is the best of the lot. Sandy Hook to AC and AC to Cape Henlopen are easy daylight(ish) hops in most conditions. I recommend activecaptain.com to you as a great resource for getting good data about each of the inlets. Good reading ahead of time. sail fast and eat well, dave S/V Auspicious _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
