Day #327 – Cape May, NJ

June 23, 2009

We have enjoyed our time in Cape May even if it has been a little longer than originally planned.  Utsch’s Marine is a family run marina and they are very hospitable, accommodating and friendly.  This lighthouse is at the entrance to the marina.

This morning a little boy was on our dock trying to catch crabs.  He finally succeeded, but hope he asn’t planning on having it for dinner as he might starve.

Patti and I spent a good part of the morning planning our stops after we reach Manasquan, NJ.  We hope to make that 100 mile trip tomorrow.  If all goes as planned, the following day we will be in New York City.

After lunch we rode our bikes up to the Lobster House Fish Market which is attached to the Lobster House Restaurant.  They had fabulous selections and I bought fresh scallops and crab meat.  Patti bought smoked scallops and mahi mahi.  Looks like we have a few more good dinners in our future.

Andy and Brad spent the day doing odd jobs on their boats as we will be on the move for the next few days.  While we are in New York City we want to spend our time exploring, not fixing and finishing.  We plan to cast off our lines at 6:00 am.  Here’s hoping for calm seas out on the Atlantic Ocean.
