Be careful rounding the north end of Sandy Hook. The shore is much closer to
the big ship channel than the charts show. Ed and Sue grounded there a few
weeks ago.
When we left Sandy Hook for Cape May Tuesday night I had plotted my route to go
just outside the south edge of the ship channel going around the north end of
Sandy Hook. When we got there we were alarmed to find breakers close aboard
our starboard bow yet the depth sounder still showing about 50 feet! We made
an abrupt turn back inside the channel travelling just inside the green edge of
the channel and stayed there until clear of the False Cape shoal.
The weather here has been breezy 10-15 kt and dry all day. In the late
afternoon the wind increased but still about 15-20 Kt. It's 2015 now and still
no rain.
We expect to continue to the Chesapeake Saturday morning.

I am at Atlantic Highlands at Sandy Hook. We ran off shore of Long Island to
here and got in Monday am. Bumpy ride. Waiting out tropical depression and
waiting for a window to run the Jersey shore (weekend).
