ATLANTIC CITY

June 5- We are staying today as the forecast is for strong wind and possible thunder storms later today. We have decided to take our bikes and ride down to the boardwalk that Atlantic City is known for. We were not allowed to ride on the boardwalk so we locked the bikes up and walked. The day started out sunny but by mid afternoon the skies were getting pretty dark and threatening so we headed back. I had booked an appointment at the spa in the casino to have my hair colored and trimmed, so while I was at that Dave put away our bikes and then cleaned the bottom of our dingy the best he could. I got back from the hair appointment and everyone was on our boat discussing our departure in the morning. We all decided that the winds were too high on the Atlantic for us to go outside so we decided that for this next leg to Manasquan we would travel up the ICW. We were a little nervous because no one knew what kind of shape it was in as far as shoaling, but when we spoke of it with Sonata they said they always went that way with no problem as long as you travel it on "high tide".
