City of the Atlantic

We awoke on anchor in Sandy Hook, NJ. We weighed anchor and got underway by 8AM. The trip down the Jersey shore was peaceful with 2-3′ waves and a 15kts of wind. We cruised south staying about 2 miles off the beach.

We did not see much boat traffic other than small fishing boats that huddled around Manasquan & Barnegat Inlets.

Barnegat light is very conspicuous from this close distance.

Simple Life

Here at the marina, Simple Life was not the only yacht hailing from a port in Massachusetts.

The sun was setting as we tied up the boat.

We were just feet from the Golden Nugget Casino.

MV Neoprene docked in front of the Golden Nugget

MV Neoprene is a like a fart in the shower… it just can’t be ignored.

Gambling is not our thing but we would not miss out on hitting the casino. Even if trying to enter the casino felt like we were in Alfred Hitcock’s “The Birds”.

In went us…

We played some blackjack and the slots for a bit before loosing enough money to feel like gamblers.

Time to hit the Chart House for a good steak. Our table overlooked the docks and you could see the cobalt blue lights of MV Simple Life through the window.
