Atlantic Highlands Municipal Harbor Anchorage, Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey: September 16, 2020
Marc- Today was an exercise in planning that went well. I went over all of the weather forecast, swell reports and my favorite weather app.: PredictWind. They all agreed that that the afternoon would be windy from the South and so we avoided this by leaving at 08:10 and aborted the trip out on the Atlantic Coast of New Jersey due to high swells warnings related to a passing hurricane. We opted the safer option of going to Atlantic Highlands (Inside of Sandy Hook). We arrived at 11;30 and anchored inside the breakwater. This town is very welcoming and friendly for boaters. We took the dinghy into the dinghy pier (#7) and then headed for the main business street, 1st Avenue that begins at the Marina. We found a vibrant downtown with the essential ice cream parlor and supermarket within walking distance.
Our friend Michael Gilmartin joined us with his tugboat Fidler's Green at about 16:00 and reported a rather rough ride once outside of the Narrows. Sue made a fantastic dinner for us aboard Lucy III.
