Coinjock to Cape May

The boat delivery Gods continue to smile down upon us. We had another beautiful day. Light winds, calm seas and all the bridges opened on schedule. We ran all the way from Coinjock, NC today to Cape May, NJ; 237 miles. We came up through Norfolk on the ICW and then turned outside and ran from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay to Cape May. We didn't need fuel, but stopped in Ocean City, MD to top off since the marina in Cape May would be closed by the time we got in and we wanted to get an early start in the morning.

John is loving the boat and did a great job docking tonight. We had a lot of company this morning going through Norfolk. We were in line with 7 other large boats heading north. Again, not a lot of pictures since we were running off-shore most of the day. We did manage to pull into Tidewater Marina at 11:00am and pick up some fluid for the trim tabs and get those squared away before we headed out. The reservoir was empty and we wanted to be able to trim the boat while running outside.

Looks like we will make Montauk tomorrow weather permitting. They are calling for showers and seas 3 to 4 feet. A little bumpy, but not too bad.
