A wild ride from Portsmouth NH, to Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard to Newport Rhode Island. The winds gusted to 30mph and the boat took it in stride - very smoothly. We arrived in Newport at the start of a 12-meter race with 6-8 of the old America's Cup boats, including Intrepid which won in 1967 and 1970 and Columbia the first 12-meter to win the Cup in 1958. What incredible crafts they are and we saw them under full sail in winds at 20 - 22mph. As we got our mooring the race had ended and the boats made a loop around the harbor and sailed right past Centime! So amazing and fun. We had a glass of Pusser's rum in their honor.
