Well, it was a bit of a mixed day. While on the one hand, it was a calm, peaceful motor down from Barnegut Bay to Cape May, by way of Atlantic City, we experienced two groundings. One potentially serious one in Barnegut Inlet on our exit this am. The other was a "grounding lite" in Atlantic City. Both in sand, so no harm done. All's well now; we are safely in Cape May, got cleaned up and had a great dinner at the Lobster House. More tomorrow.

Fabulous sail along Manhattan! Part of the East River was closed because the UN was in session so they diverted our boat and had to raise the bridge for us. Interesting to look over to the UN from the water and think that Abbas was likely only a few hundred yards from us possibly making history. It was amazing sailing past the UN and the tip of Manhattan, under the Brooklyn Bridge, past the Statue of Liberty, past Staten Island. Picked up friends, Allen and Phyllis in Manhattan and sailed to NJ. One of the best part of the trip yet. Looking forward to Allen's music tonight.

All is well here at Ethos. We made it through a huge workload bubble and there is finally a little breathing room. Thankx for your note to the Ethos/Vont crew last week!

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.

I can imagine you may finally be beginning to wind down - true?
Continue having fun, and posting to us all,

Also last night in Port Jefferson on Long Island we grilled fresh Mahi Mahi and opened the Chardonnay you and Bill bought -- heavenly! Keep in touch; miss you
