May 23 - Chesapeake City to Cape May NJ

  Underway with SONATA before sunrise to take advantage of the favorable tide on the Delaware Bay.  There are a couple of pictures of SONATA in the C&D canal, but none in the Bay itself - because - the Delaware Bay was HORRIBLE.  Seas were 4-6 feet right on the bow.  Not unsafe but very uncomfortable.  Once we arrived in Cape May, we met our good friends Ben & Monica Birch and were able to have a nice dinner with them before continuing north through the New Jersey Intracoastal waterway
