Thanks for asking the question. We are bringing our boat down from Maine to the Chesapeake this summer.
My question is what is a realistic anchorage area, leaving Cape May into the Delaware Bay, figuring about 10-12 hours for a longish day?
Looking at the charts, seems like Reedy Island anchorage is possible. Can you make it to Chesapeake City
averaging 6-7 knots, with a fair current from Cape May? We would like to arrive at an anchorage with some day light left, but leaving Cape May before sunrise should not be a problem.
Skipper Bob's book says to leave Cape May about 1-2 hours AFTER slack Ebb. Thanks for any advice in advance...
