Pulled anchor after a horrific thunderstorm last evening,
and took 1 of 600 slips at the Farley State Marina at the Golden Nugget Hotel
& Casino, Atlantic City. Believe me,
this marina was filled to capacity, with transient boaters like ourselves…..unfortunately
this is the powerboat capital of the mid-Atlantic! Not too many sailing
cruisers like ourselves.
After settling-in, I went to take a dip in their outdoor
pool, located on the hotel’s 6th floor balcony. What a view of the Atlantic
City Inlet, marina, and casinos out on the infamous boardwalk. Was able to
navigate myself away from the Lobby Casino area on my retreat back to the
quietness of the boat. Later, with Tim for that excursion! The outdoor patio
was a mecca of live bands, that entertained all, whether you wanted to be or
not, til the wee hours of Sunday morning. No one sleeps in this part of town.
This is the kind of day you need to get off the boat and
attend to laundry and nice hot, running water, showers J All refreshed, we headed into
the Chart House for some fresh seafood….worth every bite. Casinos tease you in
with all their sounds and lights. Wasn’t too long before we donated our funds
to them.
Back to the slip and a somewhat decent sleep, if you can
call waking up to party-goers and the sounds of music, and I don’t mean Julie
Andrews’ version either. Tomorrow we head further north, and new places.
