We finally left Sandy Hook and sailed to Atlantic City. There’s been a weather system in the area causing high winds and we thought we’d be stuck in Sandy Hook for a while.
We got lucky and a short window opened where the winds let up long enough for us to make a run to Atlantic City. Problem was it was at night. If we didn’t take this window, we were going to stuck in Sandy Hook for a while.
The winds died down to 15 knots and we headed out. The waves haven’t died down yet so the beginning of the trip was very bumpy. That’s when you find items you forgot to stow away.
The window wasn’t long enough and the winds were back up to 30 knots when he hit Atlantic City. It’s always fun trying to dock in high winds. The marina was great about it. They sent me a map that showed where the transients are kept and told me to take any open slip. They also had a dock hand waiting in the area to help grab lines.
We got in, hooked up the AC power and turned the heat on. We spent the day relaxing and exploring the casinos. Today is laundry day. If we can figure out the bus system we’ll try to get some shopping in. It is not bike or pedestrian friendly town.
Here’s a picture of the marina
