      Found a spot at the beach to relax. Went in the ocean twice. The first time was relaxing. the second time, my foot got pinched by what I think was a crab and I got tumbled a huge wave crashing into me.Read more

      October 21, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 17 °C

      We got to Cape May at 11:30, almost exactly 24 hours after leaving Sheepshead Bay. What a beautiful place! We plan to enjoy it as we rest for a day or two.

      Cape May Day 9

      August 29, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F

      Well, getting from Atlantic City to Cape May was another adventure. This time it was more an adventure in planning than anything. As we were planning our departures and checking all of our charts (wind, waves, weather, etc.) we were alerted that the Coast Guard had issued a "Small Craft Advisory". Dave, being Dave, wanted to know exactly what that meant because what he was reading did not scare him off of cruising. I see! So despite this pesky little Coast Guard warning, we are going to do this anyway? This came up in therapy, (Yes, we do a little marital tuning up with an online therapist to keep communication running and everyone safe and sound!) and we discussed what best way for me to feel safe under Dave's decision making. It actually was quite helpful and involved me learning a great deal about waves vs swell, wind directions, etc. Finally we agreed that moving on would work for us and interestingly, it was a beautiful ride that was much smoother than the day before. Go figure!

      Cape May is a very pretty little town. If you are ever in the area, it is a nice getaway. I think I have told friends and family that before.

      What Could Go Right? I love when we work together on things and feel as if we are in a partnership.

      What Could Go Wrong? We got some things fixed due to a very convenient boats store today. Head problems, shower drainage issues, gas intake issues. Not too bad overall.      Read more

      Historic Cape May

      July 17, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Andrew barbequed hot dogs fr lunch so we felt like real Americans as we ate on the front porch. Kelly's mother arrived and we finally got to meet her. The kids were excited to see Granny Pat.

      Mercina, Andrew and I (the cultured ones of the group) walked into town to see the Emlen Physick Estate which is a huge house in town which has been restored and turned into a museum. We learned all about Dr Physick (who gained his qualification but never practised medicine, preferring to live on his inheritance as a gentleman farmer) his mother Mrs Ralston (who buried a couple of husbands) and her sister who lived with them and never married. The house was an excellent example of the way the extremely wealthy lived in Victorian times.

      Then we took a trolley bus tour of historic Cape May. We had seen these buses pass by the Ashley Rose many times and had wondered what they said about the property. The tour was 45 minutes and very interesting. There are so many beautifully restored Victorian houses - each brightly painted with delicate lattice work. We leant a lot about the history of the town. It was a summer retreat for the wealthy until the mid 1800's when it fell out of favour. In the late 1800's it again became popular with the middle classes.

      In 1880 there was a huge fire which destroyed a third of the town. The town was rebuilt in the Victorian era which explains why there are so many houses built in that style. Most of the houses have large wrap around porches, bay windows and gingerbread trim.

      As we got closer to the Ashley Rose, we became more excited. Finally, the moment had a arrived - "When indoor plumbing was finally available, they just built rooms onto the sides of their houses. You can see on the second floor of this house there is an addition which houses the new fangled indoor bathroom". Andrew was extremely disappointed to learn that his house was a bathroom stop! He is going to speak to the president of the association that runs these tours. Despite driving past the Casablanca and the Harrisons as well as the Ashley Rose a few times on the tour, this was the only mention of one of his properties!

      We really enjoyed the tour.

      A storm is brewing outside. Thunder and lightening and heavy rains are on the way. It should be very exciting      Read more

      Evenings in Cape May part 2

      July 16, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      I'm doing this on my phone and hit a wrong button.

      Poppy had several hours on her favourite game. Each time she rang the bell, she won some tickets. Between them the kids won enough tickets to claim a prize.

      They also had the Beanbag Toss game where you had to throw the beanbag into the hole on a board. I was terrible at this. I wasn't letting go at the right moment and I kept throwing the beanbag straight up or in the wrong direction. The crowd found this hilarious. Those within range found it dangerous. In the end Oliver suggested I should stop before someone got hurt!

      We had a fantastic dinner at The Blue Pig and then walked home      Read more

      Fun in Cape May

      July 17, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      This morning for fun we decided to go kayaking in one of the nearby inlets. Kelly's son Jake arrived last night so we are now a party of 8. We drove to a marina and rented two person kayaks. The girls shared one, Jake went with Eva, Kelly and Andrew shared and I decided to have some quality one on one time with Oliver. Things didn't get off to such a great start as we drifted out into the path of a large whale watching vessel. The yelling and tooting advised us to move and we managed to get out of the way in time! We kayaked off in the opposite direction to the boats and enjoyed the scenery. We saw nesting osprey and other birds. After 20 minutes of this fun, Oliver and I decided to drift for a while. The others continued on up the estuary for a longer paddle. We chatted which was way more appealing than paddling. Finally the others had had enough and joined us and we made the slow paddle back to civilisation. Of course, as we approached the marina, the whale watching boat was ready to leave. We managed to avoid a collision and get back to shore in one piece. It was fun but rather hard on a whole lot of muscles I haven't used in a while!

      We are home for a rest and lunch before continuing with the fun later in the day      Read more

      Dinner in Cape May

      July 15, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

      Tonight we partook in a Cape May tradition. It seems that everyone who comes to Cape May has to have dinner at The Lobster House. This restaurant seats 2000 people at a time and specialises in seafood - especially lobster. The decor is 70's Fisherman's Table as are the waitress uniforms. Despite seating so many, you can't book a table, you just have to turn up and wait.

      So, Andrew takes Mercina and Oliver and drives there at 5:30pm to get a table. They tell him there is a 1 hour wait an they give him a beeper. He comes home and tells us that dinner is at 6:30pm! Mercina thought this was a great trick. She wants to be a Bares!

      There was an extensive menu of seafood. Cina and I shared the Lobster House special which consisted of lobster tail, shrimps and scallops - all fresh from the sea - on a bed of linguine with a side salad, vegetables and a baked potato. This was actually a meal for one but it was more than enough for the two of us. Eva had a one pound lobster all to herself. Andrew and Kelly had oysters for entree and Mercina decided to try one. We didn't tell her until afterwards that the oyster was raw! It was a great meal.

      After dinner we drove back to the Ashley Rose. Andrew, the kids and I walked down to the waterfront to soak up the atmosphere. There is a boardwalk with arcade games and souvenir shops - lots of flashing lights and noise. We played mini golf and had a great time.

      A fantastic end to our first day in Cape May township      Read more
