We waited a day longer than we had hoped because the storm just lingered over the eastern coast. We are in a fairly good marina but everyone is staying inside their boats or making a dash off the pier and into the city. It is so windy that I believe it could push a child over. We wanted to make up time so we left early, along with a catamaran, on Tuesday, October 5th with intentions of swinging past the coast of Cape May (southern tip of N.J.) and taking a sharp right up Delaware Bay with the C & D canal in mind (Chesapeake and Delaware) and over to the Chesapeake Bay. The winds were too great and the current against us so we turned back to Cape May. This was a hard decision but we were just pounding and there are few good places to stopover on the Delaware Bay so there was no end in site.
