Irma
delays our travel south
Leaving
NYC we ran overnite to Cape May and rested one night to enjoy the Lobster House
good eats from their deli/fish market. Nothing like fresh scallops!

| Always interesting to cruise the East River through NYC |
 |
| his next move was to turn in front of us and take off! |
 |
| gives moving a whole new meaning |
 |
| just a few boats? |
 |
| passing Atlantic City about 2AM |
 |
| hunting dolphins???? |
Taking a good weather window, we headed back
out to get into the Norfolk area before deciding where to wait out Irma. Most
of the local boaters in the southern Chesapeake had locked up the options for
hauling the boat so we watched and dawdled our way into the Elizabeth
River. We stopped at Top Rack for fuel and the next day locked through to the free dock at Great Bridge.
With Irma taking a westerly turn, we were
able to get hauled at the Atlantic Yacht Basin. Since further travel south was
unwise with Irma causing havoc we decided to get some maintenance done while we
waited. Our bottom is now sporting a fresh coat of paint and other assorted
fixes are underway. When the dust
settles (or winds and waves die down), we hope to continue on down to
Jacksonville where we will spend the rest of the year.

In
the meantime, our eyes are focused on South West Florida – especially the Tampa
area where our kids are in the process of relocating. Hoping everyone in the path of Irma is safe,
and there will be a quick recovery after the storm passes.
