We beat you Colin!

We've spent the last two days cruising the Atlantic Ocean.  We were going to stop in Cape May, NJ for a couple of days after coming down Delaware Bay, but the weather prognosticators indicated that if we did so we might be caught for several days down on that end of New Jersey because tropical storm Colin was on his way.  And when we neared Cape May the ocean looked ideal for traveling - 3 ft swells with 8 sec periods, so we continued on to Atlantic City that day - 85 miles, 10 hrs.  Today was also perfect on the ocean so we went the next 96 miles up to Staten Is, 11 hrs. WE HAVE ARRIVED!  Shore chores tomorrow and visiting the Big Apple the next two days - 9/11 Memorial, Tiffanys, Empire State Bldg, etc. We❤️ NY.

  1. Yay! You guys seem to be really getting the hang of this loop business. You wanna do one on the west coast?

  2. That's got to be a great area to experience in a boat!
