Nothing on Spot yet as of 20:33 here (dark o'clock), and I'm hoping
Flying Pig decided to take the Chesapeake/ICW when the weather lets
them move locally.

He's passing right through my day cruise grounds now, off the New
Jersey coast. I'll be interested to see if he takes the Cape May
canal, up the Delaware Bay and through the C&D into the Chesapeake. Or
if he goes around Cape May without going through the canal. Or just
stays offshore.

As a 46' ketch, I believe the plan is offshore all the way to Miami....as
she was designed for.

Are those canals clear for 7' or are they all silted in from neglect like
the ICW through SC is?

Hell, in some places where the channel used to be, an outboard motor drags
in the sand.
