Coralia, a Cabo RICO 38, departs Harrington Harbor on July 3rd and works north through the Chesapeake Bay, stopping at Wharton Creek and Havre de Grace before transiting the C&D Canal.Watch Contrary current and wind in Delaware Bay force an overnight anchor before a close-hauled slog to Cape Henlopen.0:44 The offshore leg to New England begins from Lewes Harbor of Refuge at 0730 with 15–16 knots on the beam and 4-foot swells, accompanied by S.V.1:18 Angelfish. South of Long Island in 20 knots on a broad reach, the crew chooses Shinnecock Inlet over Montauk or Block Island to avoid a night entrance — a deliberate policy they note can be broken if necessary.3:04 Subsequent stops include Lake Montauk (good anchorage, limited shore access), Essex on the Connecticut River (recommended; the Griswold Inn, shanty singing Mondays), Fishers Island (remote, minimal amenities), and Newport Harbor (Roadstead Anchorage is rolly; a mooring ball is preferable).4:16 The route concludes through Cuttyhunk, Onset, the Cape Cod Canal, and Boston.7:08 Entering unfamiliar anchorages before dark drives every routing decision on this passage.
