You are participating in the rally? Probably not, doesn't seem like your style.
Although, did someone hire you to help out?
The delivery market has gotten to luke-warm and you are employed (begs the question: inside or outside, how big is the boat?)
Chancy is on the way south, but it seems way too early, you wouldn't have had to break ice to get out in NJ.
Or?
It has been sort of bumpy in the ocean, saw a 70'er at the Maritime Center here in Charleston that had some rough weather on the way south the past couple of days, and it doesn't look to get much better for another few days, although if you stay close to shore might not be too bad. Myself, I am taking shore leave for a week, going to watch my daughter play in the rugby national championships this coming weekend in Virginia Beach (have to stop at Captain Groovy's in Little Creek - anyone been there?) then back to the boat to head further south. Looks like more north wind for the next week or so.
