Leaving today....

As Joni Mitchell sang in the 70s that she had the "urge for going", we have had the urge to be on our way for the last week.  A series of events have prevented us from "cutting the dock lines".   The issues of finishing up the house for the new tenant,  completing business obligations, loading the boat, waiting for spare parts, and dealing with our cars all took longer than we expected.  We were all set to leave by Tuesday, but the weather window slammed shut and we sat at the dock waiting for some nasty weather to move through.  We awoke this morning to a beauthiful blue sky,  fresh breeze and a great forecast for the  the next several days.   So, today is the day !! 

We will be leaving Westbrook on the early afternoon tide, bound for Three Mile Harbor, NY (near Shelter Is. and Montauk)  We will leave there tomorrow morning (wx depending) and go "offshore" from Montauk directly to Cape May.  We estimate this will take us 36 + hours so we should be arriving at the enterance to the Delaware River on Saturday evening.  We will be out of contact until our arrival.  Wish us fair winds !!
