Day 26
NY to Cape May, NJ
October 16, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
The wind and the swells were at opposing odds making for a rocky night on Gaia. Our first overnighter and you guessed it.... I booted the second that sun jumped below the horizon. I somehow mustered the strength and still did my watches but I begrudgingly stood up to check all was clear and steady our course to NJ. I took a selfie at first light and thankfully I was already on the mend at this point.

Cape May NJ is wonderful! Loved the visit particularly this great fish and tackle store... I sure hope we stop here on our way back!Read more

We went to bed at 8pm last night and got up around 8am. Did some maintenance in the morning then headed to Wildwood in our dinghy. Had a picnic of pretzel and ice cream on the beach, played in the waves and saw some dolphins 😊🤗Read more

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.

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
Traveler I need one, perhaps if you are still in the area, you can just steal one for me????

Traveler I remember, still clear, to this day, my birthday when you both took me out to block island. Still my best birthday ever! Dave and I were LOVING the waves and you were most definitely not! I'm glad that you have worked that out before leaving. Waves happen, both figuratively and in reality on the ocean! You are a great couple!
