Hi all... part of the "deal" that was cut with the Admiral that landed me the new boat ('07 44 sedan) was that I'd take the crew to LBI this summer on the boat. The Admiral has a good friend there and we'd like to go spend a few days there.
We're based in Rock Hall on the upper Chesapeake so we'll go up through the C&D and down that godforsaken Delaware Bay to Cape May and then up to LBI.
It seems like there's a good base on NJ boaters here so I'm hoping you can provide some guidance on two things:
1- What is a good marina for transients with kids (7 & 9) on LBI? I'm thinking somewhere in Beach Haven?
2- I'm assuming coming from Cape May the the Egg Harbor inlet is the best bet. How passable is that inlet? How is it marked? I've only done the Cape May, Absecon and Manasquan inlets in the past. (One particularly hairy experience has me a little wary of inlets!).
Thanks!
Tim
