6/4 Friday. Morning meetings with Hope International. Afterwards they took us to lunch at a restaurant in a golf course. Took our west coast friends on a boat ride when we got back to NJ.
6/5 Saturday. Drove Alfred to Newark airport early in the morning.
6/6 Sunday. Went to David and Ruby to Cape May. Stayed at the Beach Shack. Walked around a natural preserve.

6/7 Monday. Took Cape May - Lewes Ferry. Lunch at Jerry's Seafood in Lewes. City is quite nice. Had the "crab bomb" which is a crab cake large enough to split as an appetizer among the four of us. Meal was quite enjoyable. Took the Oxford - Bellevue Ferry. Didn't get to join an eco-tour as it was fully booked, to our surprise. Drove around the area and saw a bald eagle landing very close to us. Dinner at Crab Claw's was okay but not spectacular. Stayed at Best Western St. Andrews, very few guests were staying there.
Jerry's Seafood serves up some good lunches.

Bald eagle.
Typical town in the St. Andrews area.
6/8 Tuesday. Joined the tour on the Rebecca T. Ruard, the oldest skipjack in the United States. It was an oyster boat, we still managed to trawl up three oysters, which someone on the tour ate after Captain Wade opened them up. I had to steer the boat for a while, and the boat was going along at 3 mph. I went to dinner with David & Ruby and their in-laws while Anne went to class.

At the helm of the skipjack. Not too difficult to keep a straight line on a calm day.
