Delmarva and New Jersey
Underway
by 7 am, we made our way through the rest of Norfolk, over the
Chesapeake Bay Tunnel, and entered the Atlantic for our trek around
the Delmarva Peninsula (the peninsula of land that includes Delaware,
Maryland, and Virginia) towards New Jersey. The seas were
stupendous. On the other hand, riding in the ocean isn't very
exciting, and you can sometimes go for hours and not see another boat. However, because we are equipped with a state-of-the-art media system, we were able to watch the
Food Network (or any number of channels available) on the bridge
while we were driving along!! Ahhhh, the virtues of owning a Krogen
Express!! Arriving in Ocean City, Maryland we tied up, ate dinner on
the aft deck, took a long walk (which included a stop along the
boardwalk for ice cream), and went to bed by 10:00. (I don't know
why I was so tired, when all I did was sit around all day and read!!
It must be the fresh air!!) We were off the next morning at 7:30 and the Atlantic
was, once again, very good to us. It's pretty awesome to cruise
along in the ocean and have the kind of water we did.....nice gentle
swells, 2 footers with 10 second durations. Our dog M.E. was on dolphin watch, while her sister Macey opted for a snooze (note the calm water!) Arriving in Atlantic
City's Gardiner's Basin Marina around 3:30 we were able to wash down
the boat, enjoy the afternoon, and go out for a nice dinner.
