As I said on an earlier post - many thanks for all the input.
Here is the plan so far:

Departing Atlantic Highlands early Thursday with a delivery captain on board. He was recommended to me by a very knowledgable friend in the area, who also knows the particular boat I've purchased. He has 1 day (Thurs) available, so the plan is to make Atlantic City in daylight. He will leave the boat in Atlantic City.

I will plan the next leg of the trip based on how things go on the first leg, ergo how far we actually go on Day 1, how the boat performs, the captain's assessment of conditions, my own confidence level after that day, and weather, etc. etc. etc. I can choose to move the boat down to Cape May solo - or not.

I have spoken with another captain (also recommended) who is willing to come on board Sunday. He is available to assist on the Atlantic City (or Cape May) to the C&D Canal leg if needed.

All of the above subject to change as things unfold. I am very ok choosing go or no/go/stay put as things unfold. Looking forward to shoving off.

I remain all ears . . .
