Onward to New Jersey

Our unsuspecting crew joined us early Saturday morning for a late summer overnight cruise from NYC to Cape May. After the usual safety briefing, we entered New York Harbor heading towards the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. That was about the last I saw of everyone as the seas kicked up and the wind continued to build. Jason, Amber and Clifton rotated watches and I “relaxed” in the master cabin. Not many photos since everyone was focused on the sailing.

The wind made sure that we arrived early to Cape May so we hove to and waited for an early morning entry. Surprise – another challenging dock – 90 degree tight turn with current pushing us towards another boat. Jason mastered the turn and our neighbors later chuckled as they informed us that that was the spot that first-timers often get. Next time we’ll know what to ask for.

The well kept houses and wonderful beach kept us there for a few days. I dominated the skeeball court while Jason raced the Grand Prix course in Monaco. Our recommended restaurants in the area are Pano Restaurant and Lucky Bones Grill. When it was time to turn the corner towards the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, we checked the tides and current and set sail.
