Day 38 - 39 - Cape May, NJ

As Chesapeake City is part way along the C&D Canal, our trip started with about 9 miles of C&D Canal and then we had to go the length of Delaware Bay to reach Cape May. We had a lot of big company on this busy route.

We rolled into Cape May, NJ in the late morning and proceeded to the docks we had chosen due to preferable location. OH NO! To say that the docks were in bad shape is a huge understatement. To say that the non-verbal man (covered in tatoos) and the 12 year old boy were helpful would be an even bigger overstatement. Luckily the power situation was very scarey and nearly non-existent so we used it as an excuse to move on to a larger, slicker marina.

Once at the slicker marina, all settled into place. The town of Cape May is a National Historic Landmark due to the amazing Victorian homes in town and the beautiful, Victorian inns along the beach. You just think you've seen the prettiest one and then another one is there that is even more impressive. Here are some of the ones in town.

The beach is lovely and must stretch at least 5 miles down to the Cape May lighthouse and estuary area. Here are some of the impressive Victorian inns along the beach.

Here are a couple more scenes from the beach area. Not bad!!

And, a few scenes from our spot in the marina.

And now meet Cassie's new buddy - Stella! Note how Stella has her little paw on Cass's. They really had fun chasing each other. Cute! Cute! Cute!

Two nice days in Cape May and now, home to Cos Cob.....East River and Hell's Gate here we come!!
