Cape May to Atlantic City

We are now traveling the ICW part of the trip that Hurricane Sandy hit so hard. Opinions vary as to whether or not to take the ICW in this part of the trip up to New York or to go out in the Atlantic. We have chosen to take the ICW.  The channel needs to be traveled only on the rising tide.  Boats that draft more than 5ft should not go this way. After a long day yesterday and over 50 miles we made it to Atlantic City!  We took a shuttle into the main drag of town to see Trump's Taj Mahal, Showboat Casino , the new Revel and the Boardwalk.  We were impressed but decided we liked Las Vegas better. This morning we left out a bit later and made our way another 55 miles up the Jersey coast. The captain is happy to say that we touched bottom but have never been grounded yet. After a short trip up the coast tomorrow to finish the ICW  we will check into a marina at Manasquan and wait for weather that will allow us to go  out into the Atlantic to  Sandy Hook just inside New York Harbor. As of today we have traveled over 3,000 miles.
