| Cool Shades for the Captain |
Shortly before 7 am we woke to an incredible rocking. It was Labor Day Monday and the ferrys were operating at full capacity. We woke just in time to see our friends heading out of the harbor, boy are they early risers. Not to look like lazy people we quckly dressed and raised the anchor. Upon leaving Sandy Hook, we heard our friends hailing us on the radio, verifying calm seas and telling us to get out there.Next we came upon dozens of small fishing boats very 'busy' with their lines. NOAA had predicted calm seas and winds 5-10 knots. This would be a beautiful day for cruising. Our planned destination came rather quickly so consensus between the two boats was to travel further. The weather forecast said two more potential fronts were coming through, so best to get as far as possible down the New Jersey coast. Its an 80 mile trip, and it was a race to get to Atlantic City before sunset at 7:15 pm. Well with 30 minutes to spare we managed to pull into the anchorage and get our hook set before the sun went down, WHEW! We made dinner aboard that night , and settled down to watch some television. Neither one of us remember what we watched,,, perhaps we fell asleep??
