We woke up early today and left after some indecision. Deeper Season the catamaran we had met in Mobjack Bay changed their minds from yesterday and said they weren’t going to go today. The weather didn’t sound too good: blowing 10-15 knots and 3-4 seas so they weren’t going. Dad was concerned for Zani who gets seasick and after some debate and then a troller in our anchorage leaving too, Dad decided to go. So we dragged ourselves out of bed, put some clothes on and helped Dad with the anchor and the navigation out of the narrow channel.
There were a bunch of snow white herons as we headed out of the anchorage.
We got out of the tight channel successfully as the rising sun lit our backs.
There was a pretty beach to our port as we left the anchorage.
We left Atlantic City and started for Great Kills Harbor. The weather, as it turned out, was fine. A small breeze of 4-8 knots was all the blew and 1-2 foot seas. It was a beautiful ride. And a very nice day.
We had the best surprise that day by the sea! We saw a whale!!!!!!! Dad suddenly pointed and yelled “look!" and I flipped my head around and saw the back of the whale curving down into the depths of the sea. Zani wasn’t quick enough though and didn’t see him. But for a few minutes after we saw his spray from his spout, shoot up, so Zani got to see him that way. It was WICKED AWESOME!!!!! =D
It was a pretty uneventful day and a smooth ride. It was really cool to see the whale. Definitely the highlight of the day!
