Filled the tank with diesel and took off. It was overcast and remarkably cool. Motored up the coast towards Sandy Hook. By late afternoon, the wind had picked up against us, so we decided to duck into Manasquan Inlet. It was easy to get into, but there was no good place to anchor and no marina, so we rafted to a fishing boat. A few minutes later, another sailboat rafted to us. The couple on it were very nice. They had been living on their boat for thirteen years, cruising up and down the coast from Maine to Florida and back with the seasons.
The wharf belonged to a seafood restaurant that charged $20 for its use, but if you ate in the restaurant, the $20 applied to the meal, so of course we ate in the restaurant. The scallops were delicious.
After supper, we walked around a little bit. This town is obviously a summer resort. Not a fancy one, but pleasant enough.
