10/15/2011 LIBERTY LANDING MARINA TO ATLANTIC CITY'S GARDNER'S BASIN

TOTAL NAUTICAL MILES TRAVELED TODAY: 85 NM

DEPARTED ABOUT 7:30 AM

ARRIVED ABOUT 6:00 PM

DOCKED IN GARDNER’S BASIN AT THE AQUARIUM

Ed and Nance were up and off early, catching the 6:00 AM water taxi that would take them back across to NYC. From there they took the train to Whitehall. Thanks guys for all the home canned goods, fresh eggs, home grown veggies and Middletown Springs beef.

Dan managed to maneuver Quest out of the tight quarters and got us safely on our way south. This morning the sun shone brightly on our Lady Liberty, igniting and illuminating the torch. We were delighted to find such a beautiful day with calm seas. Much to our delight, the towed tender did just fine.

LIGHTING THE WAY FOR ALL TO SEE

AND WE ARE OFF!

Dan kept Quest fairly close to shore, not venturing out as far as we have gone in the past, so there was constantly something to look at. We spied shore fishermen, folks shelling on the beach, horseback riders, amusement parks and beautiful beach homes during our long day. By 6:00 PM we were pulling into the Atlantic City Cut and tying up in Gardner’s Basin. After a quick shower we were both ready to walk to the Back Bay Ale House for dinner and their delicious Margaritas served in frosty Mason Jars. Yum!!!
