8/29 ● Engines Are Good











We have a sailboat and that’s good. The boat has sails, and that’s even better. But the best combination is when you add a properly installed engine. WE ARE ON THE WAY TO ANNAPOLIS! Yay!!
Cape May was very pleasant and laid back with down-to-earth locals. We met several interesting characters while anchored in Cape May Bay. Many cruisers on their way to Florida or the Bahamas, or just to the Chesapeake. Retired couples, young couples on summer holiday, people with kids and dogs. One couple had a well adapted kitty cat, anxious to meet and greet. We watched the fishing boats go out in the evenings and come back early the next mornings. We explored Cape May’s harbor living. We saw houses and condos with yards and garages in front and boats, in their slips in the rear looking out onto canals -- the best of two worlds.
