Finally out of the C&D Canal. We next stopped in Cape May, at Utsch’s as we did on the way down. Not a bad ride, but was a bit of a long day. We thought that were were seeing more of the dreaded crab pots, but were actually seeing large quantities of dead Horseshoe crabs. And for the last ten miles we were inundated with a zillion flies, so much so that I had to break out one of my supply of special Belhaven sticky fly traps. Now I have to go and vacuum the dead bodies. Ah, the joy of living on a boat. I will not gross you out with photos of dead crabs and flies. We did see a few of the big boys passing by in the shipping lane. Also, a nice lighthouse which “someone” insisted was actually a sailboat in the distance. Saw an eagle fly in and land on a pole, but alas, no closeup. Skipper saw what will probably be the last of the dolphins on this leg of the trip.
