We were stuck in Chincoteague for a total of eight days. We spent Friday night at the dock in Chincoteague to provision a little. When looking at the weather there wasn't any good travel days for another week. We decided to leave on Saturday regardless of the weather conditions. We knew we had to get going.
Well, Saturday was one h--ll of a day. The seas were very rough and we were pounded all day. We have mostly everything secure on the boat but we really didn't think we would have to secure our couch.
We made it to Ocean City. We had never experienced the tidal currents getting into the Marina. We had intended to anchor out but were to tired to fight with an anchorage so we stayed in the Marina.
On Sunday we headed to Cape May. We planned to go only half way because the seas were showing the same kind of day as Saturday. We figured we could do three hours. Once we headed out although the seas were rough they were not as bad as Saturday. We stopped in Indian River to fuel up and even though the seas weren't too bad we decided to stay for the night. Indian River Marina is a State operated Marina. They obviously have the needed money because the Marina is beautiful and well kept. They also offered the cheapest fuel in the area and a very reasonable slip fee. Delaware has not State Sales Tax. That was a bonus.
Tomorrow we will head to Cape May. We will have another short day and that is very welcomed.
