Pete and Pete:
Anchored at the mouth of the Cohensey River, halfway up Delaware Bay, on the New Jersey side. This is a big, flat, tidal river snaking its way back and fourth through a broad salt marsh...very pretty. Lots of ducks and geese.
In Cape May this morning, it was snowing and sleeting and, like true sailors, they said, “eh, no problem,” and motored out into the storm. The weather cleared soon after and the rest of the day was fine (if cold). Turns out they spent most of the day in a designated shipping lane with steep shoals on either side. It was fun being surprised by tankers charging up on their stern.
Dinner was brown rice, corn, beans, peanut butter, honey, eggs, sloshed in teriyaki sauce on…delicious!
8:30 and time for bed…
Petes!
ReplyDeleteWe're looking forward to your visit. Yesterday's post, indicating a one day trip from Cape May to Annapolis, seemed a little aggressive. See you Sat/Sun here. Got the comm'ty pier all ready for you (it's in hibernation, in fact) as well as food and shelter. Our Best... Tom Ver Ploeg (the uncle)
I need to know who's keeping this blog? I want to know Pete and Pete's every move. Kidding. I love these guys toughing it out no matter what.
ReplyDeletePreparing for retirement myself and they are paving the way. My Dream.
I do hope they are keeping a log.
Will be in Pompano Florida on the 11th - the 19th. If they are around (doubt it) Would like to hook up and chat.
