| All hands were up at 0400 to bend on the
storm trysail and haul anchor inside Cape
Henlopen. The winds were SW 15-20 and gusty. With
the seas having an easterly component we rolled
our way up the coast and the trysail proved to be
a more manageable sail than the gaffed main.
Another hazy hot and humid day felt a bit cooler
offshore as we sailed about 15 miles offshore
before heading in. We are tied up alongside the
Pagoria, a Polish ship in Atlantic City at Trump
Marina. Tomorrow we are up again at 0400 to catch
the high tide on our departure. Here's hoping the
cold front will cool things off as it passes
tonight..... On the chart
image you can see Mondays track in orange and the
earlier part of today in red.
We made it into Atlantic City
about 1600 today and all is well. Two additional
girl scouts arrived and we met with Bunny Lopes
and Levi from the Atlantic City Redevelopment
Authority. A group of local New Jersey girls did
arrive at 1230 to greet Ernestina coming in but
couldn't make it back later today. They had a few
other ships to look at. Inette along with girl
scouts aboard will be writing them a thank you.
Tara (cooking) had the night off as a catered BBQ
was waiting on the dock for us. Many thanks for
the great hospitality from our hosts!
