Greetings from New England. Please view our PHOTO GALLERY for many new pictures. We had a brief tour of the Chesapeake Bay on our way north. We decided to get moving because it was brutally hot and humid with very little wind. Not fun when you live "outside." We had a successful transit of the Delaware Bay, not easy to do with the tricky strong currents in that area. We had to start that day at 4am to go with the current. It was a long day but we got to sail on the bay and it was even NICE. Better than our trip south, but I won't bring that up. Above is a picture of KALAMAR NYKAL, "Delaware's Tall Ship", that we crossed paths with on the bay. Once we arrived in Cape May, NJ we had a big change of plans. We decided to cut our miles in half and go outside of NY and Long Island. We left the next morning for a 30 hour sail straight to Newport, RI. The weather man predicted calm seas and light winds. He was right as we motored or motorsailed the whole way. We arrived in Newport to cool temperatures. We were so happy to be cold!
