Roller coaster at Wildwood boardwalk.
Cabana on the Atlantic Beach.
Every town has horse and carriage rides.
Cape May is a city at the southern tip of Cape May Peninsula in New Jersey where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. During tourist season the population climbs from 4700 to over 40,000. We can tell by the backed up car traffic, the tourist season has started. Local signage is a little confusing! I’m glad we have the Garmin Nuvi GPS with us. Saturday we had an early dinner at Lucky Bones Backwater Grille close to the marina. This is a very large busy place with great food. Expect to wait for a table. My lobster and shrimp pizza was awesome. I thought of ribs when I saw the name but the name has nothing to do with BBQ ribs. It originated years ago when Cape May was a whaling village. Folklore said Lucky Bones keeps you safe and it refers to the hook-like claw found only in male horseshoe crabs. Sailors would keep anything that was rumored to help them return from the perils of the mighty sea.
Living on the hard gets pretty boring. You miss the camaraderie that you have when you are docked next to other boats. The weather looked decent so most of the other loopers departed around 6:00 this morning to head north to Atlantic City or Sandy Hook. It would be a little more convenient if this marina had a boaters lounge to hang out, watch TV or to work a puzzle. However it is a great marina and the staff has been extremely friendly. If we were in a slip we would have cable but on the hard we can only get over the air "NBC". At least that is something. You can find me on my Kindle most any hour of the day or night. I love what the Kindle offers me and a huge thank you to everyone for this thoughtful gift. I use it constantly.
I would love to see a couple of photos of the boat on the "hard" - also a photo of the replacement of the shaft would be neat! Life here in the Quads is finally warming up - river temp is close to 80 :)
