Arriving back at the boat on Saturday after a wonderful week in Cape Hatteras (one that was over far too quickly), we left Annapolis Sunday and traveled to the top of Chesapeake Bay and through the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. We intended to go through the night to Cape May at the mouth of Delaware Bay, but thunderstorms convinced us to anchor for the night. Monday we traveled the length of Delaware Bay to arrive at Cape May in the afternoon. The weather is not being cooperative for a passage to New York over the next few days, so it looks like we will be sitting here waiting for a favourable wind shift. It feels good to be on the last leg of the journey after a well-needed break in Cape Hatteras, but being stuck somewhere because of weather can also be frustrating (especially at this point when we are all anxious to get home). It is definitely hard to go back to such a small space again after getting a taste of living in a roomy comfortable house last week, but we are all coping as best we can. Getting to New York and doing some tourist stuff will be a welcome change and feel all the more rewarding after a little struggle along the way though.
It is hard to believe we're into June already! This year has certainly flown by. Strangely, after spending the winter in warm places it feels to me like it should be fall right now. The air here certainly has an autumn chill to it, though it is quite sunny and nice.
That's all for now,
Nicole.
