No Public Beach at Cape May but Great Scallops and Smoked Bluefish Pate

When we want to go northeast, the worst forecast possible is for northeast winds, and this is precisely what happened. A second day with winds out of the NE and today they were even stronger so it meant another day at Cape May.  As we were out of fresh fruit, vegetables, and eggs, despite the strong winds, we decided to venture forth in the dinghy.  We were the only boat moving as we dinghied to Ustch’s marina from where we walked 1.5 miles to the Cape May town center and to the beach where we hoped to enjoy the picnic lunch we had packed. However, it turns out you have to pay to walk the expansive beach at Cape May so we sat on some free park benches adjacent to the beach and ate our lunch before stopping at the ACME market to restock on produce.  On our return 1.5 mile walk to the dinghy, we stopped at the Lobster House Restaurant and Seafood Market and purchased local sea scallops and smoked bluefish (which we used to make our favorite bluefish pate) which we both thoroughly enjoyed for dinner. With SW winds forecast for Monday, life couldn’t get much better.
