Dawn on the C&D Canal.
I'm not one for getting up before the sun does, but on this day we are
pointing for a dash across the Delaware Bay to Cape May. We leave the
marina dock at 5:22 and head out on what will be a good day of sun and
fast passage.
Capt'n John relates that Delaware Bay can be choppy and very wet. However, on this day we lucked out with calm seas and a dry day.
Nearing the end of the canal.
Coffee tastes great on the water first thing in the morning.
At times water is all you can see on the Delaware Bay. The Ship John Shoal Light points the way near the half way mark. Miles Traveled: 107. Day 5: Cape May Canal and Cape May.
