Tita absolutly captured molly's two cats. A great success!

What fun it was to run into Derick and Penny (STELLA MARIS). We then had a great meal with Reg and Kay (their old time friends) at Sams.

Hi Guys - yes we knew about the forecast gale and just squeaked into Cape May in time. Now, like you we are hunkered down till Monday. We will be headed straight to Norfolk from here. So we may actually be ahead of you for once! Like you we have also had our share of equipment malfunctions. Here's hoping for warmer (and more benign weather) soon! V & T

Hi T and Tita, I hope you're staying warm "up North", because down here it's way too cold for mid October. In fact, we have a fire going, and this time remembered to open up the flu! Hope it's warmer when you reach Beaufort. It's so nice to be following your blog, and see the comments from the boats whose names I remember from last year. love you.

We are being tested big time..this time. Just about everything we touch ..breaks.

Plus we are in the middle of a double nor easter. so we are hunkered down in the Chesapeake Harbor Marina. Nice place with great people, but a bit pricey for us. Chesapeake Rigging will stop over Monday and see why our mast step boot, recently installed by LM, is leaking so badly. The photo shows us nestled with a lot of "bars of soap". Some are here for the motor boat show. Hopefully we will be out of here Monday.

While we have been waiting, Tita was able to paint a fabulous watercolor of Molly's cats. Also we saw Amy and Ken (MARY T) for a few meals. We will miss them so much on our way south!

Bon Voyage Tita and Cornig.
Missed the beginning of it, but thanks to this great blog I was able to get the picture so far. An the picture looks good to me (which may differ for the reality as most of the pictures* involving water look goo to me). Hate to sound criticizing, but these things braking down must be Blessed Spirit’s revenge for neglecting HER this summer over work (:-
Hope SHE has existed her bad moods already and will be good to you from now on.
In Slav languages all wards have gender. Ship is male, but boat, yacht are female gender. I wandered why in English those to words are female gender when so many don’t have any at all. I think I’m starting forming a theory about it. -:)
I’m sincerely hoping both the Blessed Spirit and the Ocean will be nice to you and you will be having a fantastic sailing.

Be well,
Plamen

GOBS & GOBS OF SPEED

We pulled anchor at 8 am at Atlantic Highlands Nj hoping to make Cape May by early light on Sunday.

The wind came up to 25 to 30 and we averaged 7.92 kt down the coast arriving insted of Sunday morning, we arrived Sat nght at 10 pm. That is an average of 192 miles in 24 hours which is the fastest we have ever sailed.

Sunday morning we cought the tide and went up Delaware bay with no waves and just s;ight head wind. We are now at Chesapeake City in the C&D Canal.

We lowered sail when the speedo got to 9.2. But it looked like a wonderful evening which it was.

Whoaaaa. Nice picture.

That IS a nice picture! We'll try to get to Beaufort if we can have a day or two notice. We tried two great restaurants last weekend which would be fun.

I hope it's getting warmer down there. It was 38 in Maine last night, but pretty awesome with the wood stove going. Today it's severe clear and 50... a gorgeous Fall day. Dad, give a call when you get a chance- I was wondering of the prospect of borrowing one of your cars for the winter for emergency kid transport (remember, Eric gets both kids to 2 schools via 1 bike!). Think about it... Love you.

Hello Blessed folks,
I followed your trip two years ago and then followed and met up with Daisy on the way north last year.
I'm trying to get in touch with Will for info about a mooring he used on the West end of Long Island. Do you have his email at MMA?
Thanks and have a safe trip....we're headed South in about a week...very chilly here in Maine ....snow predicted for tomorrow!
