Weather not looking real good, but maybe we will give it a try....
we listened to the weather radio and I was getting a littl gun shy...I said, well if the waves are bad we can always come back in....scattered thundershowers....maybe miss us...maybe not...
9:00 we untie and leave the dock...go out into the Atlantic...oh my...those waves are a tad bit bigger than I like...Ken is at the helm and he is ok...i told him - no naps no bathroom breaks, no nothing as I was not going to take the helm....now the sky we thought was north of us was south of us heading to us. we get out past the second buoy and he says, now is the time to tell me if you want to go back...I just stared at him...he says "your eyes tell me you are not happy out here" so he just turns the boat around and heads back to the marina...we do not get there before the rains came....pouring down....got rain jacket, but no rain pants...we both got soaked but we docked the boat, just the two of us and no one got hurt....we settled down and I got on the computer, cause I have a couple hours left...Ken took a nap...
We now have power and we are staying one more day....tomorrow forecast looks a lot better than today's...we should have a west wind....5-10 knots....2-4 ft. waves....that is much better..we will plot our course later, but think we will bypass Cape May (weather permitting) and go to next nearest marina we can find.....we will see....we may just have to stop at Cape May...long haul to Delaware River......stinkin air show is going on..I have to go watch.
12:45..i'm going outside...sun is back out...
