Has anyone cruised from Baltimore to Port Jefferson on Long Island. Was wondering how long this would take at 10-12 knots?
Unless you want to do overnights! There are a LOT of variables, as psneeld said, skipping the Delaware would be a problem, and I'll second the consideration for currents in the Delaware- plus if you end up banging head seas, you'll probably not cruise at 12 kts. If you don't have to do a delivery, plan a trip with contingencies for lay time so it's PLEASURE boating.So it looks I am looking at 2.5 days of day cruising?
Sorry newbie here. Let me rephrase “best case scenario” how long would it take day cruising.
Two early springs ago in my 11 to 12 knot trawler we did a short day passage from Baltimore up to the C & D Canal for the night, then on to Atlantic City that next day, with a third day from Atlantic City to Port Jeff aren on the third day. Had moderately heavy winds and somewhat churned up seas but if you and the boat are up to it it is an easy three day passage
1 day to Cape May, NJ, 1 short day to Atlantic City, 1 day to Sandy Hook, 1 day to PJ.
That's the way we liked to do it. Or throw in one more anchorage say at Still Pond Or Whorton Creek or the like. Sometimes substituting Great Kills for Sandy Hook if we wanted to enjoy NYC for a few days. But if it is a pure delivery at 12 knots, you could skip any one of those steps. What's the hurry?
If you have a plotter or a chart, you could figure it out for yourself to suit your preferences.
