Predicted heavy winds prevented us from venturing into the Atlantic, so today is logged as a weather day. We pulled into a marina, closed up the boat and ran the AC while Ron scrubbed the decks and Jean had laundry duty. About 3:00 we hopped on our bikes for a quick tour of Cape May, dinner in town and a stop at the grocery.
As promised, Cape May had wonderful Victorian homes on tree-lined streets and brick sidewalks. The trim and porch wood carved details were stunning, especially when accentuated by brightly colored paint.
The shopping district, a series of row houses from the late 1800s, was pedestrian only with benches along the brick roadway and plenty of shade provide by a variety of trees. The picturesque scene was completed by hanging baskets of flowers and antique lamp posts.
The weather forecast point to lighter winds tomorrow so we plan to leave at the crack of dawn to run to Atlantic City, a distance of 39 miles.
