Friday the 13th Day

Nope, not going to be superstitious on this trip!πŸ’€

And we are on the road once again, finally! Underway at 7 this AM and hoping for a 10ish hour ride to Atlantic City, NJ!  Low tide!
Beautiful sunrise! πŸŒ… 
It is now 8:30 and we are cruising at 10 knots with NW winds 5-10 knots and seas are 2', roughly.  41ΒΊ 
A recipe for a great day of travel!! A little bumpy, but perfect. 
I just made use of some bananas on the boat and made banana bread.  πŸŒπŸŒ Smells so good! Yes, we are allowed to have bananas on boat because we are NOT fishing YET!😝 
Just almond flour, a little butter, maple syrup, 1 egg and 1 banana YUM!  Turned out great, enough for 2 peeps. 

Lots of boats are out today: fishing tours, dredging ships, sightseeing boats, etc. Through AIS, Automatic Identification system
a boat can broadcast a signal identifying their nautical info, vessel specs.  Not all boats have it but we do and most the boats around us do too.  It's kind of like a plane's black box.✈It tells how fast they are going and in what direction.  Right now I can see over 25 boats all around us.  We are coming into high tide at 1:00.  At that point we can ride the tide 🌊towards our destination. 
Squirrel! We passed Asbury Park! Thought of Bruce Springsteen! 

It is 1:30 and all we have seen to our starboard side is NJ shoreline with white sand going on and on forever. I feel like we are on a treadmill, spinning our wheels, going, going, going and not getting 
anywhere.   25 more miles to Atlantic City. We can see it in the distance. πŸ©πŸ¨πŸ’πŸ’°

We are here in Atlantic City at 4:45. By the time we fueled up and docked it was DARK.
