EASTNOR is in Atlantic City for another day. The winds are forecasted to be up to 17 knots offshore today. Tomorrow looks like a better day, 5 to 7 knots from the south. We will be taking our longest leg of our trip so far when we ride up the coast to Atlantic Highlands, N.J. I estimate it to be a10 + hour day on the Atlantic. Brenda's brother and his family live near Atlantic Highlands, and this will give us an opportunity to visit with them. We also lived in Atlantic Highlands for a few years back in the early 70's so it will give us a chance to see how it has changed since that time. Here we are at the dock in Atlantic City:
Yesterday, a small Tug pulled into a slip next to us in Atlantic City. Jim Cooper had just purchased a, new to him, Tug and is in the process of bringing it home from the Southern NJ coast to Geneva, NY
It is a great looking boat that he can have fun with on the NY Canals and Finger Lakes. Since he is concerned that there may be algae in the tank, he is reluctant to travel on the Atlantic all the way to New York City. So he left today at high tide on the NJ Inland Waterway. This route is prone to shoaling and sustained damage during hurricane Mathew. So leaving on the incoming tide is a smart move. I'm sure that we will see him again, possibly on the Hudson
