Still in Cape May, NJ

Sunset over the marina

Cape May is know for it victorian houses, this one is ready for halloween

We were trying to figure out what this is--any ideas?

We decided to take a walking tour of Cape May.  Everyone is getting ready for Halloween, only four days away!

Very popular restaurant in south Jersey a block from our marina.  It brought back memories after living in New Jersey for 28 years.

Here is the culprit.  The raw water intake pump developed a leak and has to be replaced.  Ed went into the engine room Sat. and discovered the leak.  He called all the marinas in the area and discovered that none of them had it in stock--1-800-CALL RANDY and he was able to order it and have it delivered here at the marina today.  The weather now is not looking good for a few days so we are not sure when we will leave good ole Cape May!

We had a smooth ride down the New Jersey coast from Atlantic City and arrived in Cape May at noon.  The weather service had issued a small craft warning for 11 am but the winds were a little late in arriving.  We will probably be here through Sun.  Hopefully Mon morning we will be on our way again.

Well, I used the slow cooker today and it was good and bad--good because it was all ready when we arrived at the anchorage.  Bad--because we smelled the fragrance all day and were so hungry.

The lighting really makes Shore Thing look great--Ed's wax job really paid off.

The sky is getting pink--great pictures Lolly!

View from the dock, you can see that the sun has not risen yet!  I can't believe we are up soooo early!

Shore Thing is off again on another adventure.

Here is the send off committee,

Randy, Carl, Lolly, LouAnn, Fran and Duncan

It might have been the continuation of the party two days ago.

These wonderful souls got up before the crack of dawn to help us off with our lines.

We left our slip in Mumford Cove at 7:05 am, temp 35 degrees, ice on the boat!

Welcome back party at the SeaHorse!

The End of this journey--we'll see if more is to come.

As you can see, New England is cold and rainy!

We finally left Niantic River in the rain and were heading for home.

Anchorage Niantic River

Well it took almost 24 hours for them to repair the bridge!

We were prolonging our trip and stopped in Niantic for an overnight--it was more than we bargained for. The railroad bridge that has to be lifted to get into the river is stuck in the down position. They cannot tell us when they can lift the bridge. So far we have been waiting six hours!
