May 28, 2017

We spent our last day in Cape May exploring the beach area.  It was a sunny, yet not too warm of a day.  Seas were still showing us large swells, so we waited until the next morning, Friday May 26, to continue north on the Atlantic Ocean.  It was a wonderful day at sea.  We were very glad to have patiently waited for good weather.  

We spent the night in Atlantic City, at Farleys' State Marina on the Golden Nugget grounds.  We drank and ate a nice evening meal.  The next morning, today, we headed north again.  Enjoying the weather window.  

We are now at Captain Bills' Landing Marina.  We hope to leave tomorrow for Staten Island, NY.
No electric or water hook up but at a dollar a foot we'll take it...

Windy but beautiful at Cape May beach.  Larry and Elke just enjoying the sun.

All the rocking chairs were taken, but a great idea!

Mike and Larry wanted to see what the 2017 bikini's looked like.

Must be a group hug...

We were amazed how many people were on the beach.  It was sunny but in the 60s.  The folks also had to pay to use the Cape May beaches 😒

All the restored buildings looked better from on foot.

Ate huge pieces of pizza at the Mad Batter.

Many of the homes were decked out for the Memorial Weekend.  Beautiful!

Look at the detail on this home.

Beautiful bloodies and beer after lunch.

As we approached Atlantic City the skyline looked pristine.

Elwood slept a little during the ocean ride.  Tells you it wasn't too bad.

Today we arrived at the Captain Bills Landing Marina.  It is an experience to say the least.  At a $1 a foot, there is no electric or water, just a place to dock.  Can't even get off the boat except by dinghy.  These slips are for workboats which are currently down in Cape May...

A cold Holiday Sunday and the locals have to get out.

This sandbar is totally under water after the tide comes up about 4 feet...

You don't want to tie your boat up too tight, otherwise it'll be hanging by the lines...
