for what it's worth
In Response To: Cape May going West ()

mnh-
Ideally you want to get through the Del bay in one swoop- it can be nasty (shallow/opposing current/wind etc). Other than Harbor of Refuge (we anchored there once when I was a kid) which is at the mouth of the De. Bay there's not much. I don't know anything about Reedy Is. other than it's in a body of water I want to just get through. If you leave CM early with flood you'll be able to get at least to Chesapeake City (in C&D canal)- ideal is the Bohemia River (northern Ches). From what I've gathered talking to people last night after the posting it's preferable to ride the fair current in Delaware even if it means a foul current in the C&D. My concern with the other way is that I'll be coming in to CM and since this is first time I'm doing the inslet I don't want to do at night. Good luck!
