[Rhodes22-list] Delaware Bay and Mike Hennessy

[FCrawford0707 at aol.com]

Mike - the major difference is in the tidal range and  heavy currents  in the 
Delaware Bay.  While I have sailed but once in the Barnegat Bay, the  
conditions are good for sailing.  I have traversed the Del Bay several  times and the 
combination of tidal currents, shipping and chop (wind against  current) can 
be hairy.  We found a good stopover place - the Hancock Marina  on the 
Cohansey River - there are quite a few sailboats there and once we were  off the Bay 
and into the River, the chop disappeared.  It's a pretty river,  meanders 
several times back to the marinas area.  But B Bay is worth the  extra travel 
time, in my view.
