The Verrazano bridge in the distance.
We departed Barnegat Inlet around 9 am amongst lots of fishing boats competing for the fish that must feed in the current... as there was a huge volume of water flowing out through the inlet. Once out and clear of the inlet the conditions were perfect for a sail north, just a few miles off the beaches of the Jersey Shore. In the morning 10 to 15 and in the afternoon, 15 to 20 on a beam reach, which is the fastest point of sail for us. All day we raced along keeping up with a couple other boats that were motoring...
And then, out of the haze, we could see the Verrazano Bridge and Far Rockaway NY! All of a sudden we are back in familiar waters after traveling 4681 nautical miles...
