To the Cohansey River, NJ - Claire

Monday May 20. This long anticipated day has come. After farewells to neighbors and dockmates, we found our life jackets on Justice
Dockmate Chef Bones kindly offered to take our springline. He owns TenderBones Rib Shack near Lums Pond in Delaware. We'll have to visit
  https://www.facebook.com/TenderBonesRibShack/  when we get back. His boat is aptly named TenderBones




One last look "We are REALLY doing this!"


Departing at 1:40 pm, with 2 knot tide going with us and a 15 knot wind making our highest speed 10.2 knots. Here's a shot of our 8.1 knots GPS speed over the bottom. It took a little over 3 hrs to get to the river on a beam reach.
Anchored on the rocky bottom,we had beautiful weather all day and through dinner (made by Dave) in the cockpit, until the short rain patch arrived, interrupting my net installation on the aft lifelines.
