What a wonderful night we had last night. The wind picked up slightly, coming through the v-berth hatch cooling things off, the waves gently rocked us to sleep, no helicopters flying overhead and no noise of the city! Heaven.

Today was hot, so hot, and humid. We did not do too much this morning on the boat other than try to keep cool. After lunch Jorge and I headed into the marina with the dinghy to get some fuel. Last night when we tried to get fuel for CS'ta Time, it was all I could do to reach up and touch the dock. Today it was an easy reach. Quite high tides. Most, if not all of the marina/yacht club has been rebuilt. Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc here last year, putting some 100 boats onto shore and it took a crane almost six weeks to untangle the mess of boats!

We walked the main drag of Atlantic Highlands today. As Jorge's sister, Silvia would say, we are like iguanas always heading out in the heat of the day! We visited a hardware store, a marine store and of course two wine/beer stores. Diana and Gilbert met us as we were heading back towards the marina. We checked out a few more stores on the way back and then had happy hour in the bar/restaurant overlooking the marina with them.

Back to the boat around 1945. With the boat closed up for the afternoon it was like a sauna, temp reading 30.7C. We quickly opened all the hatches and like last night the wind started picking up, cooling the temperature and making the evening quite enjoyable. I believe tonight will be a repeat of last night.
