We are leaving later than planned...loooong story. 11/1 or there abouts. Will try to hop down NJ coast in a weather window from Ambrose. We will have 4 on-board to ease watch responsibilities. And if weather continues onto Norfolk outside. Want tuck in the ICW as quick as possible and Have Absecon/Cape May/Lewes/Ocean City as a back-up.
Do not want to hang around Chesapeake Bay et al for long.
I find outside passages, weather permitting, so much easier and less stressful.
