The bikes did come down on Saturday, June 28 and we rode about 5 miles out Sunset Boulevard to the Cape May Lighthouse. The lighthouse is part of the Cape May Point State Park. The first beach picture shows the State Park beach and Battery 223. The gun battery was used to protect the New Jersey shoreline during WWII. Portions of the structure have collapsed, leaving only the supports for the guns and a maintenance building standing. The Navy abandoned the installation in1962, when a nor’easter breached the sand dunes.
The second beach picture shows a sailboat cruising around Cape May Point toward Delaware Bay. 
We saw the picture of this house in the museum at the State Park. It was interesting to see how they cleverly salvaged the top of the house and made it into a very lovely new home, farther away from the ocean.
Even the stores in Cape May are Victorian. This is a woman’s apparel store, aptly titled, “Pretty in Pink”. 
The favorite mode of transportation in Cape May is the bicycle, your own or many places offer them for rent, including our marina. Even on the narrow city streets, cars give a wide berth to bicyclists. The second favorite mode of transportation is the horse drawn carriage. The drivers can be a wealth of information regarding the history of Cape May.
The last two photos show the low tide and high tide at our slip today,

We’re due for some storms tonight, but we hope to be off tomorrow morning to cruise on up the New Jersey ICW (NJICW).
Our Best to All
