Cape May, NJ

On Monday, June 27 we had a leisurely morning because we were waiting to see if the weather on the Delaware Bay was safe enough to travel. After walking Archie and doing some cleaning, We decided to chance it and shoved off at 11:10.  The weather was quite overcast and rain was predicted. But the wind and wave heights were expected to be favorable enough to travel safely.  The only thing that we would have to be aware of was the possibility of thunderstorms.  

We knew it would be a long day and we were prepared but poor Archie was not. He was not a happy camper even though we had given him his CBD chewy.  He wanted to be held almost the whole time - seven hours!

The rain held off until we were about an hour and a half away from Cape May and then it came down hard!  We were able to stay on the fly bridge though.  There was a very heavy line of thunderstorms that stayed to the east of us which was very fortunate!

Luckily the rain stopped as we approached the canal that leads to Cape May and we reached our anchorage there at 6:35.

 Jonny took Archie in the dinghy to a nearby landing area for which Archie was very grateful!  They checked out the nearby seafood market but it wasn’t as good as the one run by the Lobster House which we plan to go to tomorrow.

While they were gone I prepared a dinner of salmon and sautéed vegetables. By the time they returned and we sat down to eat it was almost 8:30.  It felt like a long day and tomorrow we’ll continue our journey up the coast of New Jersey to Atlantic City.
