| Looking for sea life. |
Accuweather predicted perfectly that this morning’s seemingly interminable rain would clear by around noon we’d see sun by early afternoon.
It turned out to be a beautiful day. Taking a risk that the weather would indeed clear, all seven of us booked trips out to sea.
Sim and the two older boys went on a four-hour fishing excursion, while my SIL Sara, and our two youngest went whale and dolphin watching.
Our trip started out fantastic. We saw ospreys, a bald eagle reigning over the Cape May inlet and then a whole extended family of dolphins (at least 30). They entertained us for quite a while, then delighted the children (and adults) by coming in for a closer look at us humans. My daughter spotted a jelly fish.

But that was about all we saw. Instead of whales, all four of us were stricken with moderate to severe nausea as the captain took us on a rough ride around Cape May about 7 miles off shore.
The nausea subsided for most of us as we made our way back to the inlet and calmer waters.
No sea sickness on the fishing vessel. But no fish either. They got to watch someone else catch a keeper, a small shark and a sting ray. But nothing for us to eat.
So we satisfied our appetite for fresh fish with some carry out from the Lobster House at Cape May. Delish.
Tonight: More relaxing and welcoming another wave of cousins from Northwest Indiana.
Tomorrow: Beach.
Note: I left my camera cord at home, so I’m relying on photos from my BlackBerry and Sim and Sara’s iPhones.
