On Saturday, July 10th we departed Cape May, NJ at 7:15AM for the run up the New Jersey Coast to the Atlantic Highlands. The weather was exceptional with light north winds and seas mostly one foot or less. Shortly after 2PM we were refueling at the Atlantic Highland Municipal Marina and soon settle in to a slip for the night, more than a little tired after the 120 mile run.

Joshua and Gwen arrived for dinner. We can recommend Bahrs Landing Restaurant in Highlands, NJ where we enjoyed steamed lobster and clams on the water. We arrived back at the marina in time to enjoy the sunset. Check out the picture above which Gwen helped me take.

On Sunday, July 11 we were underway a little after 10AM for New York City and up the Hudson River to the Haverstraw Marina. The Photo section of the website has four more pictures of our trip by New York City. Carol outdid herself.

Our trip up the Hudson River was against a 2 knot current. It gave us more time to enjoy the New York skyline and the Palisades. We were settled in by 2:30PM and enjoyed an afternoon nap.

We plan to head up to Kingston, NY on Monday and spend a couple of days. The weatherman is promising some wet weather Tuesday. Kingston offers a number of distractions and will provide some time to recharge the crew's batteries.
