Thanks, Larry... Perhaps in my next life, I'll manage to head south before the first snow flies... (grin) 
In Response To: I remember that story Jon, about your Maine winter cruise ()
Hey Larry,
Looks like Thursday might be the day, if this forecast proves correct, there should be no shortage of wind... Guaranteed, however, it will be closer to S of West, as opposed to N of W... (grin)
I expect crossing the mouth of Delaware Bay that first night will be a bit nippy, probably gonna be a lot of hot chocolate brewed during that watch. No question, I'll have my dodger fitted for the start of this cruise... LOL!
If I manage to hug the beach south of Brigantine, I may come to my senses and spend that night in Cape May, we shall see... (grin)
best regards,
Jon
