We LEFT at the ungodly hour of 5am in order to take advantage of the significant current in the Deleware Bay. Made it to Cape May around 2. It was very windy and choppy seas, but certainly uneventful. 
Well, uneventful for us. We sailed the whole way, meaning a lot of clanging around of sails,
sail hardware, etc. Wick was so unhappy that he swatted a Luke when Luke tried to comfort him. He (Wickie...) is happy now, sleeping in the cool cockpit on one of our seats, vaguely aware of his night world. A little of the choppy seas ... and Luke harnessed in safely when he ventured out of the cockpit. We neither one want to have to go rescue the other one.
The little bit of the open water that I experienced was fine --- better than the bay, actually. Tomorrow, further north, via open water! :-)
We did sightsee in Cape May, grabbed an oriental dinner and ice cream, plus bought our newest chart book, one for Cape May to Canada. Cape May is a combination of old victorian houses and fishing boats, both commercial such as shrimpers, and also charter fishing boats.
The place where we found to land the dinghy while we explored Cape May was advertised in the guide books as having dinghy docks, but let me tell you, it's false advertising! It is actually a little spot under the bridge beside a gas dock at one of the marinas. But it worked fine.
