After boating through the fog for a few hours I was hesitant to leave this morning. Because it was suppose to be as warm as yesterday and that would bring in the fog, or so we were told. But, I have learned that what we have read and have been told is not always correct.

Kelley got up at 6 this morning and walked down to the Delaware Bay to see if it was clear enough to leave. The tide was going out, not much wind blowing against us, and all we needed was the ability to “see.” It was clear. We left immediately. It was such a smooth ride down to Cape May, New Jersey. We were thrilled.

We entered the Cape May Canal and we both are beginning to believe that all canals look the same. What do you think?

We are staying at Miss Chris Marina. Recommendation? Well, we are only staying one night! It is really a working dock, whale tours, fishing boats; but, it is close to town. We went for a bike ride there. So charming and so touristy.

There is an historic section. Charming beach cottages right next to mansions that housed the wealthy.

We rode down to the beach and were surprised that you need to buy a tag ($4 for one day) to walk down to the water or sit on the beach. There are people posted at the beach walkways to sell the tickets or make sure that you have yours.

It is so hot out. There is a weather watch warning people to stay inside in a cool environment. We were very glad to return to the boat and all of its cooled air! Dinner on the boat tonight. Something simple and cool! This is our first night in New Jersey.
