    Another state we already briefly cruised thru on our way to Philly…. Today was a pretty ok day for tackling Delaware Bay as seen by all the Nebo Loopers out there tackling it with us. We left our anchorage early and came thru the ICW inlet in Cape May NJ around noon. Our first stop was a quick lunch break right off the Cape May Lost Fishermen’s Memorial. Pretty somber park but a nice tribute to those lost at sea. We then made our way to Sunrise Lake Park on the shore of Wildwood Crest. One of several dry towns in NJ. Very cute with allot of architectural flair. The houses and buildings all have a Four Square or Cape Cod style historic vibe but seem to be newly built. The park has a kayak landing so Moki and I did our normal recon. Winds picked up for our kayak back to the boat. We are now at anchor for the night away from shore which is remarkably calmer. Another looper also at anchor nearby. Secchi 1.0 in 3.4MRead more
