I think we might be ready to leave here after a short break to fix some wonky electronics turned into a multi day stop with cooling hoses replaced and new dipstick tube gasket made, all in a location where locals warned us never to walk the streets, even in daylight.
Even here we found some kind and generous people that helped us on our way but we're glad to be prepping for departure.
Food is being prepared, sleep catch up, dinghy being raised onto the deck and note our rough passage plan, so many tidal gates crossed out as they came and went while we struggled to get the boat work done.
But at 4am tomorrow if all the stars align we should be rounding Cape May, saying good bye to New Jersey (sorry Kia and other NJ folk, I still much prefer old Jersey!) and do the long stretch up the Delaware Bay/River to enter the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal mid afternoon tomorrow.
We will probably then stop at Summit North Marina to recuperate then head on down for the Chesapeake Bay and hopefully a more relaxed schedule as we wait to welcome Guy Thornington on board!

| Passing yet another massive container ship. It really makes you realize how much of our stuff gets shipped across the world. |
