Who Knew that Cape May, NJ is the Dolphin Capital of the World?

We hauled anchor around 6:30 am to take advantage of the last two hours of the ebbing current in the Delaware River which increased our velocity by about 25%. There were many commercial ships transiting the Delaware River which provided sharp contrast to the undeveloped Jersey shoreline just north of Cape May.  As we approached the mouth of the Delaware River and Cape May, dolphins appeared and frolicked close by lending support to internet claims that Cape May is the dolphin capital of the world.  While this may be an overstatement, we probably saw more dolphins in Delaware and New Jersey waters than in any other state or the Bahamas. As we rounded Cape May into the Atlantic ocean, the water clarity improved notably and the air temperature dropped to about 70 degrees such that we had to dig out warmer clothes. We both felt much more at ease looking out to the deep ocean once again as we knew our days of closely minding our depth were coming to a close. The winds clocked around to the NE making our sail out of the Delaware and around the point to the Cape May jetty on the Atlantic Ocean take a few hours, but we eventually made it and dropped anchor adjacent to the Coast Guard's Training Station.  We remained aboard Juno as strong currents were opposing the wind (pushing Juno's stern into the wind) and we wanted to make sure the anchor would hold. At dusk, the fog rolled in from the ocean so we closed ourselves in below decks and threw additional blankets on the bed - a  reminder of the fickleness of the weather in the northeast in June.
