May 20, Sunday, -Day 23: Today we toured Cape May by bike. We rode along the beach and enjoyed seeing the colorful summer rentals.
We parked our bikes and walked along a mall lined with cute shops and ice cream parlors.
We toured Congress Hall – a big hotel and ballroom. Downstairs was a bar called The Boiler Room and next to that was the women’s restroom. The last stall in the restroom actually had the bricked up boiler!
Next was a quick stop at the grocery store. Thank goodness we bought baskets for both our bikes – they were full when we returned to Rickshaw four hours later! From Cape May we must cruise in the Atlantic Ocean along the New Jersey coast. The intercoastal waterway is too shallow for Rickshaw. It seems the State of New Jersey is out of money and they can’t afford to keep the channel dredged. We checked the marine forecast for the coastal waters and the seas are expected to be 5-6 feet for the next few days – so we will be staying put in the marina.
May 21, Monday - Day 24.
Jim ventured out alone on another bike trip today and found the hardware store and the fish market. Grilled scallops for dinner tonight!! We met more Loopers today – Joy and Dave on Maia, who just started the Loop from Deltaville, Virginia. They joined us for happy hour on Rickshaw. We talked about the weather…..
May 22, Tuesday – Day 25: We have been checking the marine forecast every day since we arrived –it looks like tomorrow we will finally be able to head north – seas will only be 3 – 4 feet. We talked to Joy and Dave and they plan to leave tomorrow too. The winds here have settled down so we decided to leave the marina and anchor out our last night in Cape May.
