There was still a small craft advisory in the morning but was to be lifted around noon. I left OC at nine with the tide and met 8 foot waves leaving the inlet, once I was out a couple miles the seas were rolling and were 4 to 6. The wind was still coming from the north at about 20kn so I motored until I was about half way across the Delaware Bay. The winds started to come from the north west and I was finally able to roll out the genoa and shut the motor off...silence. I called ahead to Cape May and got a slip for the night and got in at about six o'clock. It was a great day sailing solo!

Took a cab into town and had a burger and a few beers at the Rusty Nail. Great place and good food!
