Friday, Cape May, NJ:  Well, we are still here.  It does look like we can leave for Atlantic City, NJ, tomorrow morning.  If you have to be stranded for a week, Cape May is an OK place to be.  We can walk just about any where you want to go; grocery store, liquor store, West Marine and several more marine stores, laundra-mat, Post Office, and several nice restaurants.  They have a nice restaurant that has several restaurant's within it and it also has bakery and fresh seafood.  It is called "The Lobster House" and we have been there several times.


CO's comments:  One minute you have 7' of pure water under your vessel then a few hours later, your props are sitting in a foot of silty mud.  This marina that we are at; Miss Chris, (if you could call it that) is a nice place to stay.  To all my friends at Bill's Bay - during the summer you may deal with low water and mud, whereas, here you only deal with low water a few hours at a time.  We plan our days around the tides.

Our new neighbor, who has a 4' draft, couldn't
figure out why he couldn't go all the way
into  the slip; then his wife told him that
he was aground, so he just left it there.

Keith thought you all  would like
to see this; one of the many
decorations at the dock.
