Looking for some general info from anyone who has made the run. Having a Capt make the run on a 53MY for me then I come aboard in the Cape and run up to my slip on LBI. Looking for any good places to stop if there's any mechanical issues or need to fuel up. I figured Schaefers would be a good spot to overnight. Any local info would be great, Thanks.

Re: Annapolis to Cape May
Summit, on the canal near the del is a popular stop. Ive always done it in one shot or anchoring near the mouth of the Bohemia, pretty spot. In the spring with longer days its doable in one day at hull speed.
Weather and tide in the lower del is critical, it can get real nasty with incoming tide against northerly windsPascal

Re: Annapolis to Cape May
I have made that run many times and I agree with Pascal that the run can be done in one day during
the longer spring days. Also agree about watching conditions on the lower Delaware Bay...gets real
nasty at times. While I have stayed at Summit North Marina many times, if you decide to overnight
in the canal, I would recommend Chesapeake City across from Schafers. There are quite a few places
to eat in town or right adjacent to the marina. Just don't let them put you in a slip right next to the
canal. We made that mistake about 20 yrs ago and were waked up by a tug boat throwing a big wake
that really got our attention. Schafers is subject to the same wake conditions but Chesapeake City at
least has a decent choice of restaurants. I'm not sure if Summit North still has an operating restaurant
since they don't seem to say in business very long and when they did, the food was IMO at best a 3 out
of 10.

Yep, Chesapeake City is the place to stay on the Canal.

Re: Annapolis to Cape May
I'm getting an odd vibe from the capt I set up to deliver my boat. Can anyone recommend a capt I could use if this one backs out for some reason. I spoke with another capt Juan Watson but he never contacted me after our initial conversation.
