FYI-I've done the by-water delivery from Raritan to Annapolis a several times. It can really be a miserable slog if mother nature doesn't cooperate. The Jersey shore seems endless with few options for shelter, and Delaware Bay is one of the least pleasant bodies of water I have ever sailed on. Shallow, shipping traffic, can be buggy, if wind is on the nose very short steep chop, with nothing really to look at. On the plus side-Cape May is a nice stopover, and Chesapeake City on the canal is a really charming little town worth an overnight stop.
