Bonjour la famille et les amis. Bon nous voici rendu à l'océan Atlantique. C'est là que nous allons tester les dires de Mario le marin. A la première lumière l'étrave pointe au sud pour une croisière vers Atlantique City. Vent; Est 5 à 10 noeuds tournant Nord Est dans l'après midi 10 à 15 noeuds avec bourasque à 20 noeuds vagues 2 à 4 pieds. Tout vat bien jusqu'au bourasque. Les vagues se sont formées et grandissent et nous nous faisons brasser pas à moitier. L'étrave fonce dans les vagues et nous renvoient des embruns par dessus le bimini et nous avons pas encore attérie sur la prochaine vagues. 4 pieds les vagues! sort le tape à mesurer monsieur NOAA.

Drove down to Cape May with the wife and the monkey in tow. Also the in-laws came along as we got the same room as last year and had decided to stay the whole weekend instead of just overnight. This way we could see the parade and do more stuff. Of course as soon as we get there we see that they have torn up most of the main drag where shopping is going on making it that much more difficult to navigate with a crazy little monkey. The weather held out for the first day and was rather beautiful and we got some walking in and had a good time. Picked up some Christmas gifts and overall enjoyed ourselves. On Saturday we drove over to the zoo and proceeded to walk around the massive place ... read more
