The M.V.Oyster Catcher departed Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey for Cape May, NJ at 1100 this morning. The seas have finally calmed down and we were able to get underway. After hanging out around town in the foul weather we got to know many of the locals in Atlantic Highlands to be a very friendly place. The local Napa owner was able to find us a fuel pump from another store and get it sent over that afternoon to fix our generator. We also made friends with the owner of the local Bait and Tackle store, Pete. He let us use his truck to run up to the West Marine and pick up a few items for the boat. We strongly recommend Atlantic Highlands for a transient stopover.

Our last day in Atlantic Highlands we saw Wooten Jones off to North Carolina. His travel plans were as follows: Depart our yacht on a dinghy bound for the dock behind the Atlantic Highlands Bait and Tackle; then get in a truck with Pete, the owner of the bait and tackle store to ride to the ferry to New York City; then onto a subway followed by a train to the airport; from there he boarded a plane bound for North Carolina and then finally a car ride home.
He took the liberty of taking some photos of his adventure home:
