We left Atlantic City around 11:30 on Sunday after carefully looking at the weather. There was a series of storms scheduled to go through. The water was calm as we left AC and we put the sails up for a bit. As it started to get darker and darker, Bill took the sails down. The wind picked up to 25 knots or so. We thankfully missed all of the storms, but we did experience the big seas (5-7 feet) and strong winds as a result of the bad weather. The skies were sunny, but we got rolled around pretty good. Here are two very short videos of the waves taken before the waves got so big that we had to hold on with two hands to keep from being tossed off our seats (don't worry, we had our harnesses on). These videos don't do justice to the beamy seas that we experienced for five straight hours....
We got to Cape May, New Jersey around 6:00 pm on Sunday. Bill got some takeout and we called it an early night. We do have cable here, so we have been able to watch some of the Olympics, which has been great.
