Mechanic finished installing a new water pump about 1145 this morning while we were at Gardner’s Basin in Atlantic City, and we were underway at 1315 for an anchorage across the inlet. We had to get a deli sandwich at Gilchrist’s (a local favorite) in celebration of the successful repair before departing.

The world looks better now that we’re anchored out with a working generator.

Only fly in the ointment now is the weather. The wind is going to keep us out of the ocean so we will have to stay in the New Jersey ICW for a few days while we work our way inside to Manasquan where we will have to go outside to Great Kills (Staten Island).

The Erie Canal is still closed because of high water from recent rain.
