C & D Canal advice

Check out Eldridge Tide and Pilot book it will give you the times for the tide changes, the directions of Ebb and Flood and the speed of the current fpr the date that you plan. Also, no matter what you do you will have a foul current at some point in time in Delaware Bay. I don''t know what your mast height is off the water but you need 55 ft to clear the Cape May Canal bridge. If you can''t make that clearance than you will have to go around the tip of Cape May. Do not cut it close to the shore as their are alot of shoals. Watch your charts carefully going around Cape May. Good luck
