Weather, or not . . . ?

So, as we relax after dinner in Liberty Landing - exhausted from a full day of boat chores, including a stem to stern scrubbing, we have no idea just how far we are going to make it tomorrow?

The answer is that it depends.
The seas are favorable, but it all boils down to the weather.

We will definitely get some rain, some time tomorrow.
The questions are when and how much?

But fear not, we have 3 alternative harbors.
One at 50 miles (Brielle, NJ) , one at 93 miles (Atlantic City), and our target at 128 miles (Cape May).

If I were a betting man, I'd say that we will make Cape May.
But then, if I was truly a betting man, I'd call it a day at Atlantic City. (just saying...)

We are pretty confident that an early start will afford us the window to get to Cape May.
So, we'll shove off by 6:00, which should have us tied up in Cape May by 1:30.

Hopefully, well ahead of the weather - or not?
Stay tuned . . .

    1. All things are relative. We had people passing us today, like we were standing still . . .
