First Night at Sea
17 June 2013 | North Atlantic Ocean
Donna
We are now sailing on the North Atlantic Ocean about 52 nautical miles off of Brooklyn, NY. It's nice and calm now but last night a thunderstorm came on us and spilled lots and lots of rain. It was on Bill's watch, luckily for me, and he didn't make me come out to help until all the rain was gone. It wasn't good though. We had too many sails up for those conditions and no stopper knots on our jib sheets. End result, the jib sheets pulled loose and were trailing in the water and our lazy jack system, the lines that help us take our main sail down, broke. After the storm blew through we managed to get all the sails down and motored the rest of the night until both of us managed to get some decent rest. I think maybe we were overtired and that didn't help anything at all.
We have at least another day to go to get to Provincetown. Hopefully we will be there before tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully no more thunderstorm tonight too.
