September 23, 2014 ….. should of left for Cape May ? or not ?


our Canadian friends on "JUMP". Catherine and Gaven, decided to head out in the morning for Cape May, an email from them later told of their 18 hour passage, they got in at 2:30am, and anchored … the weather man did not predict the seas that they encountered … in the morning they decided to move to a dock because of the uncomfortable seas …. on their way there, they ran a ground, but managed to get them selves off, before the Coast Guard came ….  later they had to fill in Coast Guard papers, and then the Customs guys arrived, and gave them a warning, that if they don't phone in their position the next time, the fine is $5,000. dollars ….  so lesson to us, even if we come in to a new port in the middle of the night, and then next day run aground, the priority is phone the Authorities.


we second guessed our selves if we should of left at the same time as "JUMP", we are a smaller boat and the passage would of taken us at least 24 hours … we went to the fuel dock to full up, and get a $5.00 pump out .. then back to a new anchoring spot, closer to the marina


later we went to shore for a walk and came across another Horseshoe Crab, not wiggling
