I may have posted before, in the old world, pre-Corona Virus, about friends who are buying a new boat up in Connecticut and then plan to bring her home to DC on her own bottom. The trip is starting in Norwalk, CT; travel through NYC, and outside the Jersey Shore to Atlantic City for our first stop for the night. The second day is AC to Cape May, up the Delaware Bay/River to the C&D Canal and into the Chesapeake Bay with the next planned stop in Annapolis. The last day is the run from Annapolis to home.
We were supposed to leave today for the drive to CT and set sail tomorrow, but Mother Nature has changed those plans. High seas off of the Jersey coast have forced us to look for another weather window. Which brings me to my question(s) for you Northeast, ocean guys...
Does the Wed-Thur of next week look like a good weather opportunity to basically transit from NYC to Annapolis over 2 days? Offshore, I'm looking at seas less than 3.0 ft on a 7+ second period, with winds generally less than 10 kts from a southerly direction. I have been told that traveling south, into the wind, is less that ideal, but the seas are less that 2.5 ft on Wednesday! I'm using the Windy App on my iPad. The app that has the "blue" icon, not the one with the "red" icon.
Any tips, advice, words of wisdon you care to share are much appreciated.
