What a beautiful sight, sailing through New York City. It gives one a whole new perspective as if seeing it for the first time. We hit the city bright and early Monday morning since we had to get through "hells gate" as the sun was coming up. It seemed like we had the river to ourselves until we got into New York Harbor. It was then that all the Big Boy Boats showed up and we ran like a dog with its tail between its legs because we were then the Little Guy. We sailed on to Sandy Hook, NJ.On Tuesday we made it all the way to Atlantic City (over 100nm)...a long day. We stayed at Trump Marina in Atlantic City and left Mr. Trump a bit of our money but had a great time. We walked the Boardwalk the next morning and then got back on Jay Sea Dee and made it to Cape May that evening.
Last night we made it through the C&D canal and anchored at Veazy Cove along the Chesapeake Bay. Today we had a shorter sail and stopped in Annapolis, MD. We had the Seafood Buffet at Buddy's and are docked on Ego Alley along the City Marina Wall. What a beautiful city with lots of history that we hope to explore tomorrow, unless it rains...then off to St. Michaels.
