Between an onslaught of hurricanes and a very stubborn low off the coast the waters off the Jersey shore remain abysmal. It's been a week since I got back from NYC, and we thought we'd need an extra day or 2 before we had a window to travel, but this has been bonkers.
Odd, the weather here's been pretty nice. Didn't even get the rain they predicted. But the winds out there are miserable! |
We are among a bunch of boaters all buckin' to get south. There have been texts, chats, and phone calls as everyone compares weather and wave information. General consensus says get to a launching point Thursday and start down the Jersey coast Friday. It won't be fun. Some of us will jump off as soon as we can (this is my tribe) at Manasquan, then take the JICW down to Atlantic City. Others will just put the throttles on the table and book it all the way to Cape May.
Today is Tuesday, and this Friday window has been stable for a while, so we're hopeful that it remains.
But it doesn't look like it will be fun.
But neither will be waiting.
