5/31/11 - 6/7/11 Our next aim is New York City and Lace is not feeling well at all so we wasted little time heading north. The temperature approached the high nineties for the final day in the Chesapeake so we headed for Worton Creek Marina where we could plug the boat into shore power and get all three a/c's working. A short transit of the C+D Canal (connects Chesapeake Bay and Delaware Bay) and we stopped in Delaware City Marina to wait for weather and tides for the trip down the length of Delaware Bay. This transit proved to be a tough one. The start was very rough and slow going but eventually the tide changed and we ended up making almost 10mph with a following wind when we turned the corner into Cape May New Jersey. We anchored out for four more days as we made our way up the east coast of New Jersey (marshy and unremarkable) and we pulled into Marine Basin Marina in Brooklyn, New York. The odometer now read 3238 miles since we left Seabrook, TX.
