July 23rd Pt Jefferson NY

July 14th stayed one more day in Delaware City had a nice visit with Ray and Beth our friends from Texas. They delivered much needed beer and I used the bike to get a few groceries and crab cakes from the local seafood market. Yum!
July 15th headed down the Delaware, nice ride with the tide sailing about half way. Then wind died and we motored the rest of the way to Cape May. Anchored at Coast Guard Station and took off bright and early up the NJ Coast.
July 16th - 17th up the NJ Coast not much wind sailed when we could but motored most of the way. Arrived at Sandy Hook early am, anchored outside the channel in NYC waiting for the tides for transiting the East River. Timed it right and had a very nice trip to Pt Washington.
July 17th - 18th free mooring in Pt Washington, groceries and hardware store stop.
July 19th - 23rd due to weather stayed longer than expected in Pt Jefferson. Anchored 3 nights, Setauket mooring one night and PJL mooring the other. Had our bottom cleaned by Kevin of Barnacle Busters, Solmar may get back to NE a little quicker now!
