Sitting on the dock of the bay in Cape May




Since our last update, we finally departed Atlantic Highlands Marina. It was a nice trip off the coast with little wind and smooth seas. We decided to pull into Manasquan inlet for the night. The Yacht club was full of fishing boats, but everyone was just sitting on the dock. We only saw one boat return with a nice yellow fin tuna. Next day we departed for Atlantic City. We stayed at Kammermans marina. A long walk to the boardwalk, so we just relaxed on the boat for the evening. Next morning we departed for Cape May, N.J. 2 hours out, we spotted our first pod of dolphins off out port bow about 50 feet. Sharon noticed them and couldn't figure out what the commotion was in the water, then I saw their slick grey body. We had a nice cruise into the cape May harbor and pulled into our assigned slip at Utsch's marina. Here are just a few pictures from the last week. We are still sitting in Cape May, N.J. until the wind gods decide to let us pass up the Delaware Bay.
We got a bike ride in to Cape May beach. Too bad the wind was against us. But it has either been against us or not at all most of the trip.
Next on our itenerary is up the Delaware Bay to the C & D canal, then spend some time on the Chesapeake Bay.
