jeffies, why does anyone every hope you will learn to read?

sometimes I believe you are purposely trying to be dense. other times I know
you are not trying at all.

Then what did you say? You started by saying Sassafras may be too far for
one
day (it would be for a slow sailboat), and then suggest a destination
somewhat
further. Although I love Annapolis, there are a number of destinations in
the
upper bay that may be more appropriate for a time-limited venture.

read it again, jeffies. this time wait until you are sober. I said
nothing
at
all about Sassafras being beyond Annapolis.

Your navigation is backwards, jaxie. The OP is starting in Cape May, and
would
have to pass the Sassafras to get to Annapolis. Its true that Delaware
bay
can
be nasty if you go against the current, but this is something he'll have
to
cope
with in any case. But with a power boat and some planning, he should be
able
to
avoid the worst of it.

The Sassafras River may no be as exciting as Annapolis, but it does have
the
advantage of being one part of the Chesapeake where you can swim off the
boat
without fear of sea nettles.

On the other hand, they could make the Sassafras in one day,

It can be a lot rough for the 50 some miles Cape May to C & D Canal when
the
wind is against the current. He may not want to make 20 knots in those
conditions. Just one protected anchorage on the Del Riv.

I seem to remember about 35 miles Sassafras to Annapolis (which has
moorings,
anchorages and a water taxi). Annapolis is more interesting that Cape
May
and
one hell of a lot more interesting than Sassafras.
