The weater forecast wasn't great, but we decided to leave anyway because we didn't want to be stuck in Delaware City any longer. We knew if we didn't leave today we would have to sit here for several more days because the weather was going to get even worse. We waited until 11:00 to leave, which is very unusual, because we wanted a favorable current to head down Delaware Bay. The first part of the trip was great. It was sunny, with a gentle breeze, and the water was very calm. About 20 miles from Cape May, New Jersey the wind and waves really picked up. It actually felt like gale force winds. It was hard on our eyes to look directly into the wind. The waves quickly grew to 3-4 foot, closely spaced, with occasional 5-6 foot waves. We had waves going over the bow and spray going over the flybridge. We have our flybridge all open, so soon we were soaking wet. Poor Hooper was so wet he looked like he had gone swimming. In fact when we finally got to the marina in Cape May, the dock kid asked us, "Where did you let the dog go swimming in this wind?" I can laugh about it now, but we weren't laughing then. We were just happy to be at a marina with the days travel over.
We stayed at Utsch's Marina and saw 8 other looper boats waiting on the weather. We plan to spend an extra day in Cape May to relax and see the cute town. The weather really doesn't look good for the next week. Two or three other boats plan to leave tomorrow at 5 AM and head out into the ocean. We plan on going with them. The other boats are all bigger than us, so we may have more trouble with the ocean waves, but we'll give it a try. If it looks too rough we'll come back in and try to go the inside route to Atlantic City. We really don't want to go this route because the waters on the inside of Jersey are so shallow, even at high tide.
