Cape May NJ (2013-10-29)

N38° 57.026', W74° 53.028'

Our patience waiting for the weather gods to stop playing their silly games awarded us with a grand passage from Atlantic City to Cape May yesterday.  We popped out into the Atlantic just past 0900 and found an ocean much calmer than it had been when we arrived, and it stayed comfortable for the little over 4 hours it took us to reach the Cape May inlet.

Waiting on the weather (2013-10-27)

What's as important as knots, navigation and basic seamanship for a cruiser to learn?  The answer is patience.

Atlantic City NJ (2013-10-22)

N39° 23.245', W74° 24.538'

Today we're anchored in a small bay near Atlantic City, just off of the Absecon Inlet.  We had a challenging couple days travelling on the outside down the New Jersey Atlantic coast, so between that and the rain forecasted for today we decided to reward ourselves with a down day.

Poughkeepsie NY (2013-10-18)

N41° 42.836', W73° 56.898'

Tonight we are tied to the dock at the Mariner's on the Hudson restaurant.  For the price of a meal we get to stay on the dock for free!  Needless to say, we ate cheap. :-)

Castleton NY (2013-10-17)

N42° 31.752', W73° 45.695'

We had had a good trip back to Ottawa (with great results, as reported in the last blog post :-)), but it was time to get back to the boat and get this wagon rolling again.  The trek south has restarted, and the pursuit of the sun has begun in earnest. 

Those special days in life

The beautiful bride and the dapper groom

Back to Ottawa (2013-10-08)

Well, Dar and I have returned to Ottawa, as planned, for our daughter's wedding this Sunday.  The boat is safely tucked in at the Waterford Visitor Center dock.

Waterford NY (2013-10-05)

N42° 47.284', W73° 40.819'

This evening finds us tied up to the dock at the Waterford Harbour Visitors Center, in Waterford NY.  We'll take a well deserved break for the next few days while we figure out where we'll leave the boat when we travel back to Ottawa for our daughter's wedding.

Little Falls NY (2013-10-03)

N43° 02.043', W74° 51.963'

 Tonight we find ourselves tied up to the wall at the Little Falls Harbour Marina in Little Falls NY.  While we did have access to an open wifi access point at our last stop, it was very spotty, so I wasn't able to make a blog post.
