The night was much warmer than last might and winds calm. The sun was bright this morning but high fog like clouds muted the sun until mid afternoon. Temperatures started low 50s and warmed to upper 60s.

Today was a relatively short 45 mile ride to Atlantic City. I thought about running to Mannasquan, another 55 miles, but didn't want the long day, and we had never been to Atlantic City and we decided a visit we should have.
The sea was relatively flat this morning. There was a swell that at times was confused and thus a little lumpy.
But is was good to be on open ocean water. We have not see a beautiful clean water wake in many a night. It looked real good.
You can see the high fog type clouds moving about.
Here we are approaching Atlantic City
And here is a funny shot. The big boat is leading the way for a very much smaller Ranger Tug of about 27 feet. Can you see them? Just a bit different than the other boat.
The Sen Farley Marina - it is managed by the Golden Nugget that is in the background.
And after check in it was time to see the sites. Here is the entrance to the Golden Nugget.
And inside the GN
It was not very busy - but the lights are a flashing and the bells and buzzers are a cacophony.
We then rode a shuttle bus to the boardwalk area. There was trolley cart that we decided to ride from one end to the other and back again. Glad we did. The ride was about three miles one way.
And there is a beach on the other side of the dunes I'm sure.
Casinos are every where.
But the one that is most impressive is the Ocean. It is an amazing edifice.
And the casino is very large and impressive. And no, we did not leave any money behind (or take out more than we started with - just to be clear)
An impressive deck ahead.
And even the entry way is amazing.
On the ride back we saw this road sign that reaffirmed that we need to get home in the not too distance future.
You can ask my sons about whether it is good to say this to their mother after she told them they needed to do something
And night brings out all the interesting lights.
And so it is time to say ........
Good Night and May God Bless
