Blogging aboard my boat in Cape May - The End of a Long Hot Summer in Cape May

A Brush Stroked Sky at Dusk in Cape May





The End of a Long Hot Summer  in Cape May

As the summer comes to end next week with Labor Day, we look back on this Summer in Cape May with much respect to our loved ones that have passed. Our father and friend Hilliard Newman passed on this Summer after fighting a long illness.  Hilliard was a self taught artist and his work can be found here on the web. As we mourn the loss of Hilliard this summer we find small reminders of him every day around us.

My wife and I see his "brush strokes" in the sky during  a brilliant red sunset as he creates another painting from above from the dockside. As the cycle of the summer ends, and school starts, and town slows down we now enter into another  beautiful season in Cape May to enjoy the water with our family and friends.

This has been a great week aboard the boat, many beautiful lit sunsets, cooling evenings on board while the boat gently rocks you to sleep and you wake up in the morning to the sound of laughing gulls and the the water trickling against your hull.

The cycle of Summer continues, and so does the cycle of life.  The anticipation of the summer seasons end, and the start of the crisp Fall Season lay ahead as we approach  the upcoming ending Labor day week in Cape May.




So enjoy your last week  of Summer in Cape May,  go out on your boat, walk the beach, dine in Cape May, hunt for antiques, be with your friends and don't forget to spend a Sunset with your partner enjoying the simplest things , a brilliant red sky with gentle brush strokes from above.

Thunderstorms on Radar Rolling across Cape May

The Weather this past Sunday and Monday started out iffy for boating in the Cape May area. As we waited for the weather to clear to make our trip across to Lewes the Cabin was high and dry as the local thunderstorms rolled in.

 Good Day to Visit the Lobster House Fish Market to prepare for dinner.

Blogging from My Boat in Cape May- Summer Ends in Cape May


Another Summer has come to an end in Cape May. This week end celebrates the official change over to the fall season. As we clean up our homes, and boats and put away our summer toys as we anticipate the upcoming holiday season and the end of our year. It's tough to make the adjustment from living in your favorite worn out flip flops, those baggy torn shorts or your favorite sundress to wearing shoes and discarding that comfortable t-shirt with a small rip in the collar, thats broken in just right. I personally don't throw away that t-shirt, I bring it home as a small well earned summer treasure from the boat to stack in my dresser draw and take it out during a cold winter night or reuse it for another summer year or vacation. There's something about putting away your slightly rusty beach chair with a hint of mildew smell which adds finality to the end of the summer. As the cycle of life continues, so does the cycle of summer at the Jersey Shore. You can feel fall in the cool air on the dock in the evening, you can start to see the birds preparing for migration. In the morning as you walk the slippery dew covered planks, you can hear the baitfish stir on the surface as the fall predators move into the bay and the water temperature cools. This summer in Cape May has been a good one, we rescued a puppy and she became our newest family member. We also said farewell to an older family member at the final twilight of his life. The cycle of life continues from old to new, as the cycle as season continues from summer to fall. So take your Cape May beach tags and put them away in draw as another well earned summer souvenir and go out and enjoy the start of the fall season in Cape May with your loved ones.
