Here in Atlantic City

       Left Cape May early this morning and headed out to the Atlantic Ocean, under calm conditions. The weather forecast was for thunderstorms later in the day, so our intent was to get in and anchored before the storms brewed. The sea was relatively calm, and we were once again motor/sailing along all by ourselves about a mile and a half off the coast.
       We saw 2-3 dolphins feeding off the bow of our boat, first thing......lovely to watch their graceful movements. Hoping to take a video at some point in time, but today I needed to just "watch" for myself. Ironically, as we entered the inlet from the Atlantic Ocean, we saw dolphins swimming out from this stretch of the Jersey shoreline, with Atlantic City beckoning to us. Tim says the lights from the numerous casinos is quite the show, and can be seen for miles!
     The thunderstorms arrived as scheduled, within an hour of our anchoring. I was able to take another dip, as I did yesterday, to cool off and refresh my spirit.......being outdoors all day in the sun and heat can really take a toll on your body. And believe me we've been drinking a lot of water as well. The rains remain steady at the present, and the dryness of the cabin is inviting, so we will eat aboard and venture into the city tomorrow.
    Before retiring, the lights of the casinos shown brightly in the sky! This city doesn't sleep!
   
        Good night to all!
