Whew! We have completed our first offshore section and have landed in Cape May NJ. It was really cool to sail past Wildwood - the place we had our summer vacation 2 years ago. At that time we never dreamed we'd be sailing by it off shore! The day started pretty calm and then it really built up to being fairly rough by noon. Good thing we started early and got here by about 1:30. This time the wind was on our nose and so we had a lot of salt water splashing over the bow. It felt great to pull into the harbour. And the place we arrived at had welcome packages with wine and snacks along with beautiful showers. Ahhhh!
We headed off to the grocery store to stock up for the next week and to do a needed laundry. Met some interesting folks - one older couple (84 yrs) who have done this journey more than 50 times! An inspiration and a great resource!

Hi, Christopher, from your friend Bill Heron at the South Simcoe Railway.
I finally got around to checking for your blog, so I’ve caught up on all the earlier posts. It is fantastic, and it’s going to be a lot of fun to follow your experiences.

I see from the photo that Christopher got a new South Simcoe Railway cap for his birthday.
I wonder if he will give up wearing the old one.

This must be the part of New York where the canal, the New York Thruway, and the former New York Central “Water Level Route” are all close together. Down on the water you couldn’t see the four mainline tracks. Driving by on the Thruway I am intrigued by what must be the old roadbed of the New York Central “West Shore Line” that is now a bike trailway.
