Well today was a work day. Jorge checked the oil levels in the engine, fine tuned the furler, charged the batteries with the generator (I vacuumed while the generator was on) and got the steaming light going again.

After lunch we pulled anchor and went to the marina for fuel, water and a pump-out, then back to anchor. We dinghied into town for provisions (I swear it was like we were going into space - the amount of stuff I bought!) We filled up one propane bottle, 5 lbs. for $11.00 + tax.. Ouch! There was a farmer's market in one of the squares with relatively inexpensive produce and candy coated pecans that were to die for, we bought 1/2 lb. of those.

Diana and Gilbert came over late in the afternoon for happy hour. We discussed the jump to Cape May tomorrow. It is a 99% go at this time. The winds tonight however are howling - 19 to 25 knot gusts. So much for a restful sleep with those winds! Jorge says the anchor and chain are earning their money tonight. The motor is off the dinghy and secured, we'll raise and secure the dinghy tomorrow morning.

I believe departure time is somewhere around 1030. Chances are slim that I will be able to get any internet doing this passage as we will be some 3 to 5 nm out from shore so will touch base when we get into Cape May.
