Donna and I spent Friday night in Dutch Harbor (Jamestown Rhode Island) and the remainder of the weekend in Newport at the Yacht Cub. I have really missed Rhode Island, which has the best sailing and cruising anywhere in the world during the summer.

It is a 1600 mile sail and Wayne thought it would take between 8 - 10 days to arrive home. (average speed is about 150 miles per day) I haven't heard a word although Tom's wife did hear on Saturday night from Tom via satellite phone that there wasn't much wind and they were approximately 160 miles off the coast of Georgia.

Yes, it does fit in the dingy davits, and the total weight with the engine (15 hp - 4 stroke whatever that means) is 400 lbs. It has a canopy (great for the islands), storage in the front, and a bilge pump isn't it cute???? Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:06:18 -0500 http://www.sailblogs.com/member/eclectic?xjMsgID=64569
