| Concrete ship S.S. Atlantus |
We woke to great weather - blue skies and temps in the high 80’s! Barb and I took care of a few boat chores before venturing out with our bikes. We rode to the coast where one of 12 concrete ships that were built during World War I sunk during a storm and parts are still sticking out of the ocean! We also visited a World War II coastal defense fire tower, the last one totally intact in NJ. This was state of the art submarine detection with coastal gun battery fire control --- before the introduction of radar. |

| World War II Lookout Tower |
From there we peddled to the Cape May lighthouse (where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean ) still active, before returning to the boat. On our return, we were told it was a ten mile round trip!
Carl and Ricki’s family has arrived and will stay on their boat for the next few nights.
