Just checking in with everyone who is following the blog. As we move from anchorage to anchorage our wifi is spotty, so we use a cell phone to connect instead, and that uses lots of expensive data, so no pics with this post.
It’s always an event going through New Youk Harbour. My family arrived in North America via New York, and though I doubt they passed through the famous Ellis Island, it is still the symbolic landing point for millions of immigrants looking for a better life. Of course it’s neighbour the Statue of Liberty is also an important landmark.
After fuelling and resting nearby at Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey we did our first open ocean coastal passage to Barnegat Inlet. Mary had a touch of seasickness but in compensation, saw a dolphin. Today we sailed for the first time. It was so nice to give the motor a rest. It was my turn to be seasick, but I go to see the dolphin today so I guess that’s how that works. We are anchored at Ocean City NJ for the night. It’s about 10 miles south of Atlantic City, the casino town that we saw on our way by. Tomorrow we should be in Delaware. Rather than go up Delaware Bay and down Chessapeak bay we will continue on the ‘outside’ which will cut some miles. We will likely give you a full update with pictures when we get to Hampton Roads, which is just north of Norfolk, Virgina.
Until then.

Hi Mark and Mary. Thanks for the update. All is well at home. Paul and Claire came to town and went to see a couple of shows with Dad in NOTL (Shaw festival) . We had a gathering at Christine’s place last night. Sophie is taking a summer course at O’Connor , Aidan is looking for a summer job, Sadhana is enjoying the time off and gardening. She is battling the wild life in our backyard that is enjoying the garden. My job is going well. Enjoying the warm dry weather (we had very little rain the past 4 weeks. We are planning on camping in early August, around the Cornwall area (Rob and Christine Oka – Bon Echo is full so we are looking at alternative places. Glad you are able to do some sailing and seeing the dolphins.
