Second Overnight to Cape May
Eric joined us for our second overnight to Cape May, along with delicious food from Eric and Vera. We left Sheapshead Bay around 11:00 AM. We were greeted by 15 foot swells around Rockaway Point. We were worried this was going to be a wild ride, although the weather didn’t predict this. We were so happy that the sea state settled down to 4 foot swells.
From the ocean, you see the coast of New Jersey and an entire coast of beaches. So beautiful. The winds were good, and then the winds were no more. This was a lot of motoring or motor sail.
One highlight was seeing Atlantic City at night. You can see it for 40 miles, the bright lights of the hotels and casinos. The picture below does not do justice.
It was cold overnight, but as the sun rose, not only a beautiful sight, but warmth in the cabin. We arrived in Cape May around 2:00 PM, staying at Utches Marina. Dinner was at a rib place near the marina, where we said goodbye to our crew, Eric.
