  • Launch Time: 9 AM (sharp!)
  • Launch Site: Lewes  (DE) Town Beach (Click for map)
  • Landing Site: Pinewood Road Beach, Town Bank (Click for map)
  • Estimated Time: 4.5 hours
NOTE: This is not a sponsored or an official event. We, as a group of independent kayakers, will paddle across the Delaware Bay. Those who join us do so at their own risk.

We are planning to carry our kayaks on the 7 AM ferry from Cape May to Lewes. If you are planning to take that ferry, we suggest that you call for reservations in advance (1-800-64FERRY) since it will be a summer Sunday. We will assemble on the Lewes Town Beach (see map) and leave promptly at 9 AM (we will not wait for anyone).

The physical requirement for the crossing is the ability to paddle at approximately 4 mph for a period of 4.5 hours; we take very few breaks from paddling.

We will make a go/no-go weather decision at 3 PM on Saturday afternoon and again at 6 AM on Sunday morning if we're go on Saturday night. Call 609-889-4911 between 6:10 and 6:20 AM Sunday morning if you have any doubts about weather conditions. Our go/no go decision(s) will be posted on the bulletin board and here:
