You will need to be a bit away from the shore, at least half a mile to avoid
the waves as the start to break towards shore. It the days is windy, to
onshore, then I would would think twice about going out that day, I'd hit
the sand instead.

I'd like to be able to cruise down to Ocean City MD (30 miles)...what
do
folks think about making this trip in my boat?

Start checking the ocean weather reports in that area, call a few
marinss, and plan your trip carefully. Stay in sight of land, a mile or
two offshore, leave early in the morning, and don't go out if it is
rough or predicted to be rough. The boat certainly is big enough to go
out in the ocean if you are cautious.
