Heading for NYC

It was a short day up the coast from Cape May to Atlantic City, but interesting. About halfway through the 40 mile trip, the fog rolled in, thick, visibility  down to maybe 100 feet. We came through the inlet to Atlantic City using instrument flight rules, but no issues. Made camp in a little lagoon just off the entrnce with a couple of sailboats, one of which is another Looper couple we met and talked to. Lowered the dinghy and went to the city marina where they let us tie up for free and took the Jitney (a small transport bus) to the "Boardwalk" for a hike and to see what the fuss is all about. It's sort of a cross between the state fair and Disneyworld and Las Vegas. A couple of hours was plenty of civilization for me.This morning we are headed up the coast 85 miles to New York. It's clear and the seas are not too bad. With luck will be at or near the Statue of Liberty tonight.
