The weather was perfect, sunny, no wind, comfortable temperatures and very calm seas. Because of the optimal conditions we decided to go all the way to Cape May.
We always wonder why this old and defunct swing bridge hasn’t been removed!
As we approached Cape May, we passed some beautiful shoreline homes like this one.
After our eight and a half hour cruise we arrived at our anchorage only to find a twin Heritage East as the only other boat there! Our boat is not at all common so it’s always a little exciting to encounter one.
We immediately climbed aboard our dinghy to say a quick hello to the owner and commit to seeing him later. We rushed off to the Lobster House that has a great seafood market. There we stocked up on fresh scallops, crab soup, shrimp salad, cole slaw and potato salad.
When we returned to Zendo, Jonny called our Heritage East neighbor to touch base and compare notes. Their boat is a 2002 (ours is a 2000) but they are essentially the same. They were headed in the opposite direction from us so there was no opportunity this time to spend more time together.
We saved the scallops for the following night and settled in for an easy dinner of the various salads. They were all delicious! After catching up with family on our daily phone calls, we proceeded to watch the second night of the Democratic Convention. Highlights were the innovative cross country roll call and the very compelling and heartfelt speech by Jill Biden.
