So far, "knock on wood", the dynamic duo are having a great trip. We pulled out of Coinjock yesterday morning at 6:30 and started heading north. In the back of my mind I was hoping to get to Cape May, NJ, but things had to go right. Fortunately for us, everything did go right. We covered 230 miles over 12 hours and pulled into Cape May last night at 6:25pm. We didn't have any issues with the bridges and locks around Norfolk which helped. Then we got really good sea conditions. Seas started out flat coming out of the Chesapeake Bay and end up around 2 to 3 feet near Chincoteague Inlet and Ocean City, MD. Not bad at all and the boat continues to run very well with the new transmission.
Today we will head up the NJ coast to NY and then start our trek up the Hudson River toward the Erie Canal. We are not sure where we will finish the day, but we will put as many miles under the keel as we can.

On Thursday the generator crapped out. She needed a new impeller as you can see many of the fins were missing on this one.
We saw this mega yacht as we came through Norfolk yesterday.
Saw this ship getting ready to enter the Delaware Bay.
