A good morning at Atlantic Hightlands Municipal Harbor.
It was so hot these past 2 days, we spent time below in the shade.
We admired our Patron Saint of Sailing, St. Nicholas,
received as a special gift for our navigation station, oversees all.
Sat Sept 9 - sailed south to Cape May, NJ overnight.
Arrived Sunday am, just before dawn so did a few circles till more light arrived, but we wanted to get there early because there was an "unforecast" storm right there. Yes, we saw the "red sky at morning". We got in with some light to anchor just in time for it to start raining. Anchored next to the Coast Guard Station, ( in and to the left ) which is the only place deep enough for us. Last we know, the slips are too shallow. We prefer anchoring anyway, espec for wind to flow through the boat. We joined a couple other sailboats already here. Just enough room for a few boats. There was some dredging activity by entrance.
Sun - staying aboard, to catch up with sleep and enjoy good connectivity as it may not be so good tomorrow and next day. Rain forecast on and off all day, so we'll have to visit Cape May by car sometime instead : )
Mon - motorsailed to Cohanssey River, NJ - beautiful river in the wetlands. Rocky bottom, current is strong and no-see-um bugs plentiful, entrance depths where deeper than our Garmin nav said, even at low tide.
Tues - motorsailed home to Delaware City, DE. Bruce met us. We were assigned the same dock we last had - B Dock. Nice to be home after 4 and a half weeks of living aboard. ( more photos to be posted when i download them )
