The Crossing


So here’s me and my safety whistle. At the time I just couldn’t be bothered to take it off. Was just too tired. We spent 30 hours crossing from Cape May to the Rockaways. We didn’t really want to stop in Atlantic City and all the other NJ inlets were tiny and didn’t want to try and pull in, in the dark. I was good for the first 18 to 20 hours but I wasn’t getting enough sleep on my down time and it caught up with me. Not to mention a few of my down times were punctuated with going on deck which meant I had to harness in before doing so. We decided to splurge for a marina so we could shower and get gas. Do not come to the Gateway Marina! Expensive and no fuel dock, no WiFi, no laundry,  very ghetto, and the bathrooms are disgusting. So we are headed out tomorrow AM to go through Hell’s Gate and stop off at City Island. Hoping to find better facilities there.
