[MD] Sandy Hook

[Ian Glendinning]

FYI anyone .... I did visit Sandy Hook, Horseshoe Cove and Atlantic
Highlands / Navesink 3 or 4 years ago for a few hours. As Dave says,
some specific locations are pretty well referenced. Anchoring in the
cove and rowing across to highlands (now a marina) to shop. The
"grotto" is not obvious.
