We got up a little after 6 and I made a coffee and got started. Casting off was easy, and we motored out past the statue of liberty and avoided some super fast ferries, saw cony island, and went under the verrazano bridge. Then we put up the jib to take advantage of some amazing 25kt wind at a perfect angle for a broad reach and surfed all the way down the jersey coast to barnagat inlet. The wind was great, but it was quite chilly most of the day. In the afternoon the sun warmwed up a bit and the wind dropped to mid teens which was more comfortable. I was really regretting not getting the HH jacket top that went with my new foulies. The inlet was a little tricky because of the shallow areas but we used the core or engineers survey overlays on aquamap to double check our position and made it through to the wrong bayview marina (why would they have 2 without more clear signage?) but backed out in time and got settled into bayview north. We docked around 4pm. Then we were recomended to go to the restaurant Kubel's a few blocks away which we did and had some good seafood.
