Still in Cape May

Monday, June 11, Mary and John took Passport out into the Atlantic Ocean.  The crews of Boreas and Glory Days joined us for a trip to the Cape May Lighthouse:

The sisters of St. Joseph own some prime real estate:

We had lunch at the Ugly Mug, on Carol's recommendation-again a good one.  Afterward, Mary and Pat shopped while the rest of the visitors went to the WWII observation tower.  A shot of the lighthouse tower lantern room:

Inside the tower, propaganda posters from WWII:

The tower, which had been a fire tower, but was used for sub spotting in WWII:

After grocery provisioning for all 4 boats, we took Rich and Carol out for dinner.  Tuesday we had rain all day.  We visited with Carol and Rich for a little while before they headed home to NJ to prepare to travel back to Salt 'N Sand to finish the loop (although the boat and Rich have"crossed their wake" Carol has a few more miles to go).  Wednesday the other 3 boats left about 11 am to take advantage of the tide on the NJICW, as the ocean will be rough for several days.  Our box of mail arrived from Jo and Mary spent the afternoon sorting it and responding as necessary.

Thursday we went to the Hereford Inlet Light:

Forecasts were correct-the ocean doesn't look friendly:
