Lovely evening in the harbor at Barnegate Light. All kinds of weather today, but not at all what was predicted. Now we get to wait until midweek to continue up the Atlantic coast to Sandy Hook.

And lots of weeds in areas. We got our props fouled a couple of times but hitting reverse cleared them fast.

18 June, Sunday.

Still holed up in Barnegat Light. Tootin' today, tonight, and tomorrow. Might be here to Wednesday before being able to go to NYC.

20 June 2017. Such fun we're having! The past two days were too windy to go anywhere and a dandy line of storms blew through last night. We were chased off the BLYC mooring (but apparently you can call 'em and ask for permission), and have been at anchor since.

We replaced the house bank batts yesterday. The four golf cart batts had boiled dry since the last time I looked, a month or so ago. I replaced 'em with two group 31 and all seems well again.

Upon a check of the bilge prior to moving up the NJICW to Manasquan, since it's still too rough in the Atlantic, I found LOTS of diesel in the bilge. New adventures and expenses are sure to ensue!

It is an adventure!

The nice thing about this trip is that it's a test of boat handling and maintenance, navigation and piloting, crew management and entertainment. Yet you can wade ashore and call a taxi for home any time during the 1500 mile passage. You are never out of cell phone range. Hell, you can go out to eat every night if you wish. My wife rented a car and drove back to NYC for a wedding shower. We used the car to go to a movie later that night.

Information and resultant plans are coming into place. Basically, the fuel tank replacement project will take at least 6 weeks but as yet unknown boat dollars. The summer trip to CA is not possible this year. We've got house and dog sitters until the middle of September, so we're home as guests while I make models of the new tanks. We'll be living on the boat in NJ and then puddling around the NJ bays, Delaware Bay and of course, the Chesapeake after we have the boat usable again.
