The ride (motor - there was only between 2 and 5 knots of wind) to Atlantic City was nice. The water was like glass, even though we were in the ocean. Not too much to see on the Jersey Coast except for a lot of beaches. Until Atlantic City emerged off in the distance.....
We had a bird hitch a ride on sv Mary Elizabeth for about two hours. He would land on the jib sheet, hang out for awhile and then fly away. Two minutes later he would be back. He liked the free ride, I guess.
We are staying at Trump Marina, which is at the Trump Casino off the strip. The Borgatta is next door, which is great since we are going to see Counting Crows and Maroon Five there tonight - which I am very, very excited for. We tried to see if the timing would work for tickets when we were in Boston, but they were playing there earlier in the summer. When we figured out the dates for when we would be in Atlantic City, I looked up what entertainment would be here, and was very pleasantly surprised to realize that Counting Crows would be playing!!!
So last night, we got settled into the marina (there are very few [less than five] transients here) so we have the dock to ourselves (there is a separate transient dock). We had dinner and then gambled. Bill didn't do so hot at Black Jack and did only a little better at Craps. I had my standard loser night at slots and Roulette. Oh well, we have another day to hit the jackpot.
The weather is nice, and I have the laundry in the wash here at the marina now. We are going to do a little provisioning and maybe hit the boardwalk / beach tomorrow before we leave on Sunday.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
