We have stayed in Atlantic City during these very heavy winds. There is a Coast Guard station right next to the marina we are in and have seen the teams leave on occassion during the last two days to do some sea rescues. We have been cosy and warm down below and are keeping up with school, laundry and making great friends on the dock.

Our plans are to leave here by around 10 am tomorrow morning as the winds and seas are settling down a little. We will be in Cape May Harbor before sunset which is around 4:30 pm at this time of year. We will be on our way again by Thursday morning, before the winds pick up too much. We should be up the Maurice River, at Boatbuilder Bill's place by the end of the day.

Our Zimbabwean friend Eric is planning on coming down on Saturday, Dec 1 to bring us a car. Philip will probably go back to North Jersey with him on Saturday to attend an important meeting on Sunday. He will then come back down to where the kids and I will be and we'll get our boat settled down there and do some leg work regarding the schooner.

Will keep you posted as things progress.
