Cape May-Lewes Ferry

Me on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry before departure to Cape May


Yesterday I finally boarded the Cape May-Lewes Ferrt and made the trip to Cape May.  


Ever since I moved to Delaware four years ago (November 2006), I wanted to take the 70 minute trip from Lewes, Delaware to Cape May, New Jersey.  The only problem is that I didn't want to do it by myself.  I would prefer to make my initial trip with friends.  Yesterday that happened when my friends Jack and Judy asked me if I would like to accompany them on a day trip to Cape May.  I immediately accepted.


Thus on a cold and windy day, I made my virgin voyage to Cape May.  The trip was a success!


I was mightily impressed with the futuristic building that is the Cape May-Lewes Terminal in Lewes.  The trip over was very pleasant.  I didn't get seasick.  In fact, I've never gotten seasick. I like the gentle rocking of the boat.  I am definitely a water person.


Jack and Judy took me on a tour of Cape May, which is just as beautiful as everyone has told me over the years.  My friend and former boss Bill P., who has a summer place in Cape May has often told me I would love Cape May.  He was right!  I love the gingerbread, Victorian style houses  I especially like the grand hotel called Congress Hall.  Wow.  


Come this summer I will be making many more trips on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry.  I'm looking forward to it.
