Traveling along Jersey shores today we came across Morey’s Pier.  The rides of twisted metal looked pretty scary and painful even from our vantage point a mile out on the water so we left that port-o-call to the younger crowd.  Getting closer to Atlantic City and the impressive buildings a guessing game began of who owned which one, and which one was the largest.  Choppy water on the Absecon Inlet was the only place for an anchorage, but we like free, so we took it.  A marina at the Golden Nugget Casino who wanted $3 per foot ($126 for our 41ft) for overnight dockage was kind enough to let us tie up our dinghy for a few hours.  Of course the Board Walk was why we stopped, so we hailed a Jitney (small people mover) and were off.  Hundreds of people strolled, ate, sat, talking, sunning, and gambling along the long walk.  Dennis’ birthday (#62) is today so appropriately he found a place to have a short “senior” nap along side another old guy while we were there.  Tonight we’ll return for birthday dinner.  I asked Dennis what to say about today he sang, “It’s a great day to be alive.”  His biggest gift of the day was getting phone calls from eight of the grandchildren singing “Happy Birthday to Grandpa.”  So yes, that indeed makes it a great day.
