Waiting for Weather Window

September 16, 2012 Sunday ......

We were a little sad to be leaving NYC, as we had so much fun there, but it was time for the journey to continue. We crossed Lower and Raritan Bays to Atlantic Highlands, NJ.  We took a mooring ball at Atlantic Highlands Yacht Club inside Sandy Hook, NJ.  Here we will stay, awaiting a big weather system, complete with Gale Force winds, along with many other cruisers. All of us will then depart when we have a perfect 24hr. weather window to go "outside" down the Jersey shore. This will be a 120nm transit on the Atlantic Ocean, down to the bottom of New Jersey, with the destination of Cape May, NJ.  Being the "powder puff" cruisers that we are, we really DO mean "perfect weather".  That means we may be waiting here awhile!
