Day 87: Farley State Marina

Today was another day of chores.  Linda did laundry and Brian fixed items that had been on our list for a while as we mentally prepared to “go outside” in the ocean.  A pleasant slow day.  We spent a bit of time planning routes and controls for our 5:30 am departure tomorrow, including alternative stopping points if the waves were too rough.  Once we pass Ocean City, there isn’t a real alternative to getting into Cape May.  However, if we arrive at Cape May and feel we have the energy, we may push to arrive at the C&D Canal before the winds shift in the early afternoon — a simple situation of what is forecasted versus what actually occurs, and when.  We can’t second guess the later, so we will be patient, but prepared.  Brian grilled on the back of the boat and we enjoyed a quiet dinner aboard.
