Saturday, May 19, 2012

Things have changed since I posted yesterday.  We have decided to take the inside passage (Intracoastal) and only do about 20 miles in the open water instead of doing about 150 miles in the open water.  The reason for our change of heart is that the weather forecast indicates that we would be sitting here for at least a week and from our research, a boat that drafts 4 feet or less, which we draft less than 4 feet, should have no problem as long as we pay attention to the charts and red and green markers.  It will take longer, but it beats just sitting here waiting.

We rented a car for today and tomorrow and went to the grocery store and laundromat.  John was drooling at the grocery store.  He says that's the size and kind of store he would have loved to own.  It was really busy too.  So, our chores are complete and we can go to Church tomorrow and then investigate the city of Cape May, New Jersey. 

 This picture is for Norm and Sue Mayer.  This tavern is directly across the street from the marina.


It's hard to see, but those are dollar bills decorating the ship.


I am putting a couple of pictures up tonight.  The second one is blurry, but it's pretty cool.  It's a model of a ship inside of something like a trophy case.  It has a slot at the top for you to drop money in and at the end of the year, The Lobster House donates the money to the Michael J. Fox Research Fund for Parkinson's Research.  Last year the donation was over $10,000.  Pretty nice, huh?
