One of the cheapest fuel stops on the east coast is the Alligator
River Marina just north of the bridge. They can tell you on the phone
or radio what their channel depth is. Further north, Coinjock Marina
also has reasonable fuel prices, and the restaurant there has some of
the best prime ribs that I've ever had. Do not order the "Captains
Cut" unless you are *really* hungry. Coming into New York Harbor,
Atlantic Highlands Municipal Marina has good fuel prices by NY
standards. There is room to anchor there along the shore near the
east end of the breakwater.

Hi, Wayne,

As it happens, I'm writing this alongside Coinjock Marina where I just
finished the biggie. I passed on dessert only because there were none
which caught my interest. That followed our fueling, and tomorrow
morning I'll go off to the local NAPA to get the right sized belts in
their Gates Green equivalent; I have one which is too long which I''ll
return. Based on the results I'm getting from my realignment of the
alternator on crap belts, this may put the replacement issues to bed.
In any case, our electricals are doing very nicely; I'll post on the
audit and scenarios of AH usage and supply once I have some real-world
experience to add to it.


Alligator closed about half an hour before we went through the bridge
- we actually called them at 7, thinking they'd be open later. We're
actually planning on centering our NY stay in the AH/Sandy Hook area
as that's where my brother lives.
See you along the way...

Skip, sated, and wondering at all the people we have met (the reason
we're here) who said they couldn't possibly finish it - but agreeing
with the universal reviews of "awesome"...
