Jersey Buoys

In my last post I included a photo of a yacht, the "Grand Barossa". I found additional information regarding the ship and it's journey along the east coast. We have been at 2 marinas with it. The ship's owner also owns a vineyard and winery in the Austrialia's Barossa Valley. He is traveling to promote his Château Tanunda wines.

We stayed at Utsch's Marina in Cape May, NJ for 3 days. This is a view from the marina's office looking across at the USCG Training Center.

We left before 6am and headed out into the Atlantic Ocean. It was a perfect day on the water.

Arriving at Atlantic City (above) and an addition of a new crew member (below).

 

The morning we left Atlantic City, the fog was very heavy and we had it for 50 of the 62 miles we traveled. Our last stop in NJ was at Hoffman's marina. Our boats were docked by the transit train bridge.

An extra day was spent at Hoffman's due to the waves. I had a guest joining me for lunch. Lynn drove from Pennsylvania to visit. It was especially nice that she drove us to the store so we could stock up our food and supplies.

It was a hot and sunny day but the only one swimming in the marina's pool was a duck.
