I fill the 3 water tanks, and get the boat ready to finally leave. There is a fairly good weather window coming up in a couple days and we plan to start from Atlantic Highlands. There are a lot of boats backed up waiting for this window.
“Blow Away Too” had their brand new 30amp splitter cable melt, that they bought the day before from a local marine store. They stay for a while longer to go back to the store to get the defective cable replaced. Unfortunately the overheated connector also damaged their older cable it was connected to.

Finally we have a sunny, relatively warm, day for our short trip to Atlantic Highland. Once we get out on Raritan Bay we put out the sails, even though there is not a lot of wind, it is just nice to slow down and enjoy the sun. We get to Atlantic Highlands and head to the fuel dock for diesel and a pump out. As we head over to our mooring “Blown Away Too” comes into the harbor. The anchorage beyond to mooring field is crowded with southbound boats and they wind up anchoring just beyond the northern protection of the breakwater. Once on the mooring I tackle a project I have been putting off, replacing the Joker valve on the head and lubricating the pumps. We don’t put our dinghy down since we get to use the launch with the mooring.
