We were glad to leave the bad anchorage of Atlantic City and
to get further south to Cape May NJ which is about 37nm away. The swell turned
out better than forecast which was a relief after the previous day.
Unfortunately the winds were also light, so we had to motor the entire time. We
arrived in Cape May at 3:00 and found an anchorage. We were hoping to get a
proper shower but there are no facilities here which will allow you to take a
shower for a few dollars unless you take one of their docks for the night ($2-3
dollars a foot a night), gotta love American free enterprise L
The only US Coast Guard training base is here, the recruits
are running all over the place and there has been lots of commands plus PA’s
going off at all times. The guide books forgot to mention this J and the only spot to
anchor in this harbour is right in front of the base! I imagine we will hear
them early in the morning……
We will stay for an extra day due to weather and to relax,
will be glad to be done with the New Jersey coast.
The next day it was very windy but we managed to dinghy to
shore to do our laundry, walk around for a bit and had a great lunch at the
Lobster House (pic enclosed).
This evening we were treated to a wonderful sunset.
