The anchorage at Atlantic City was quite tricky to get into but once there it was the best one yet. You took a sharp right hand turn right off the channel and before "Rum Island" to enter. It felt like we were in a small salt water marsh once inside. I wish I had taken a better picture of it. It was a "windy", shallow entry marked with river markers placed by the state. We were told they remove them in the fall so we were lucky they were still there! You could read the water some but we didn't want to touch bottom! Steve actually hung out at the mouth of the channel before entering waiting for the morning light. We were sure glad he did!
As soon as we entered we heard a Hey There! It's "Salty Spouse!" We couldn't believe it! There in the anchorage was a Morris 36' with our friends Inza and Scott. We had met them at the 35 year Morris Yachts Anniversary celebration in Northeast Harbor 3 years before. We had their "boat card" with us from 3 years ago, not knowing whether we would be able to connect with them or not, as we would be near their home in NC.
They were headed out that same morning but were also on the move to Cape May. We arranged a rendevous with them there. The kids were excited to see the inside of another boat and we were happy to get an opportunity to catch up with them.
We spent most of the morning catching up on boat chores, homework, and rest from pulling the overnight the night before. To stretch our legs in the afternoon we did the "Boardwalk" to the beach. We decided to get one good nights sleep and then head out in the morning....
