Where did the squaw kick you, and was it your voice that changed?

Thank you so much to all that responded, there's alot of good info and
idea's (I.e... 6 gal. gas and current's with del.bay which I was not aware
of.) as for some of your questions: year is 1987, the beam is 8 ft, (Just
measured it) and the condition of the motor is solid so far, 408 hrs. on it,
well maintained I don't beat on it, I want to be able to get out of
trouble just as fast as I get into it. Well, good info and a lot of common
sense, I think well do alright...............BTW, I got caught out in the
middle of the del.bay last year when a squaw kicked up, WOW things can
change mighty fast. I learned that, luckily not the hard way, and learned a
few things on the way back in.

I just want to do my homework and not bite of more than i can chew
especially with my kids or guest along, I found out owning a boat that
things are quite different when your the skipper and not a guest. Again,
THANK YOU TO ALL THAT RESPONDED and happy and safe boating to one and all.

I have a 20' long with 10' beam fiberglass V-hull chaparral boat with a
Johnson V-6 150hp outboard. Fuel capacity is 50 gal tank. Full electronics
and so forth, with optimum weather conditions seas 1-2 ft or that lucky
glass day. How far out in the ocean could I or should I go to see a little
better fishing, i.e.... size or game fish, without getting myself or
others in
trouble, or before is unsafe or unrealalistic. I would love to see blue
water but I don't think I have the fuel capacity for that, I am aware the
1/3 rule as per fuel, 1/3 out---1/3 back and 1/3 for just in case. Not
that
it would make any difference, I would be going out of either south jersey,
Delaware bay or Delaware or O.C. Maryland.

Any help and or suggestions would be greatly welcome, I would like to
bring
my kids, 14 and 18, but only if it's possible and safe to do so, if not,
chances are I would be doing it alone Most likely as I do most of time.

Thanks in advance
