Shooting Thoroughfare

We next progressed, with high tide beneath us, just past Little Egg Inlet, which we had actually entered in May of 2022 to go north towards the finishing days of our Great Loop. (See https://shellerina.com/2022/05/03/nj-coast-strategies/ for our first time trying out the inside route of NJ ICW)

This time, we went by Little Egg Inlet and dropped anchor between the two anchor icons you can see below:

This shows OUR actual anchor waypoint just north of the lighted Red-126 ATON. This is yet another good anchorage IF in light airs, AND only if you are confident of your ground tackle holding in currents that reciprocate with the tides in this crazy intersection of waterways.

The strategy of short daily passages, using both sides of high tide, helped us make it through the skinny waters that show up above in the hotter colors of the spectrum.

We will continue to use that strategy tomorrow to make our anchorage into Atlantic City called Rum Point Basin.

Using NEBO we see that friends Linda & Brian of Destination are a day ahead of us. Since everything south of New Egg Inlet is new water to us, we pick their brains for a report of what is ahead for us.
