Dinner at Still Pond

Some things don’t change. Before departing for our long sail to New York, we had a wonderful dinner at Still Pond, Delaware. The menu was indicative our past experiences:

1997 Rosemount Mt. Blue Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon (from our time in OZ)
Tri-tip steak (from living in California’s central coast)
Tomato, Feta and Basil salad (from good friends in North Carolina)

This was a good opportunity to stock up, as the next 36 hours were spent sailing from the Chesapeake Bay, through the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal and then offshore up the New Jersey coast. We arrived in Sandy Hook, NJ (at the Southern entrance to the NY/NJ bay) in great shape, but a little wet. We spent a couple of days anchored in Horseshoe Cove sorting out things that we had not finished prior to leaving NC.
