Atlantic City, Baby

This is my third time visiting Atlantic City. Each time that I I have
been here I have been a refugee from bad weather. By the looks of the
forecast, we may be spending a couple of days here. Yesterday we made
good progress down the coast, despite three factors against us: the
swell, the wind, and a 1.5 knot current. After sundown, the winds
picked up to 20 knots and the seas began to build. Atlantic City was
just 10 miles away at that point, so we made the easy call to come in
out of the weather.

There is a cold front approaching so we expect more bad weather in the
next couple of days. It looks like it will be Saturday or Sunday
before we see Annapolis. We look forward to being home again, but the
Atlantic is going to control the timing of our homecoming.

Today we will see what Atlantic City has going for it. Suzan just said
that tonight is Country Night at the dock bar. Maybe we should leave
today afterall.
