We woke up after a restless sleep trying to figure out how to get off the dock with the wind and current and spin around in the channel. After helping another boat off the dock fighting the current with the rising tide, we decided to spend another day in Cape May and relax. We waited till slack tide and spun the boat around so that we are now in position to leave without worrying about the 5 foot tidal range and the current that runs past us at dock. We should have put on walking shoes for our walk into town (and latter regretted how sore our feet were when we got back). Cape May is U shape around the ocean. We walked from the marina down Washington Street to the downtown walking mall for crab cake sandwich for lunch at Uncle Bills. The first taste of fresh crab...heaven. Here are some pictures:

Beside us the trophy prize
Ocean front view of the beach and ocean
The big one that didn't get away. 1028 pounds
Beautiful homes and mansions all along Washington Street
As for tomorrow, we'll wake up in the morning and decide where we go. Probably up Delaware Bay to Cheaspeake City (48 nm) where we will wait for better weather to continue on to Cheaspeake Bay. Going the 14 hours to Norfolk is not an option this week with the weather the way it is.
