| surrounded by shrimp boats at the Shrimp Box Restaurant |
This morning we were all set to make another attempt to leave Atlantic City. The winds were calmer, but we did not know what the sea state was looking like. A large power boat pulled into the fuel dock so I ran over to ask him if he just came from outside. Sure enough, he did. He said the sea state was fine...but, the fog was very thick. He was going to wait it out. We decided to head out anyway. We move a lot slower than power boats so we could keep a clearer eye out for boats in the area. We also had radar that was buzzing away. We really only had a few boats that we had to track. Without even being able to see them, they passed about a mile in front and were out of site. After a couple of hours the fog lifted and we could see clearly again. We landed at Manasquan Inlet late afternoon and tied to a restaurant dock called 'The Shrimp Box'. We were here on the way down and the manager was fine with us staying on the dock if we ate there. It's a great way to spend dock fees!
