A very reliable weather source.

Apparently Boston is having similar cool wet weather that is good for my garden back in Watertown.


Marc-  Steph and I have been doing a few boat chores as we stay put in this very safe spot while this weather improves.  Predictions are for improvement by Monday for our departure for Cape May.  We will need to leave at 06:30 to catch the favorable tidal currents.  The open water part of the journey is 50 miles followed by the Cape May Canal.  On Tuesday we head out into the Atlantic for a 40 mile trip to Atlantic City.  On Wednesday we will  50 mile run from Atlantic City to Manasquan.  This is all subject to weather.  Hopefully we can get some sailing in on this part of the trip.

The marina sponsors a captains meeting for navigational and weather advice every evening.
