So, barring any surprises, we're gone on the 19th, from Norfolk VA to
Sandy Hook/Atlantic Highlands NJ. We'll be out of touch other than if
we're successful in the Maritime Mobile Net, which will post our
positions and conditions on the web, and relay info to any who would
like me to send it on that way, through another relay.


Cape May and Barnegat Inlet are both good points to duck in for some
rest if you need it. Cape May is "all weather", Barnegat can be
dicey on an ebb tide and easterly swell, otherwise no problem.

SeaTow cheerfully gives advice on NJ inlet conditions.

I like to run close in on the NJ beaches in good weather, staying in
about 20 feet of water for the best shore scenery.
