Last Overnight Passage
16 June 2013 | Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey

We have just completed our last overnight passage of our adventure. I hope now that 8, 11, 2 and 5 will just become numbers to me, and not our watch schedule. We had a great sail up the New Jersey coast under spinnaker until nightfall. I was able to sail my first watch, but the wind died for Dave and the iron genny took over. I got the best sleep during a passage ever. I will also confess that for the first time since MIssion Bay in 2001 I fell asleep during my watch. The sun rises so early, and I get my deepest sleep just before dawn, anyway my last half hour was that deadly time for me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah! We are done with those things!
Also - tomorrow June 17 we will be sailing up the East River. We should be going under the Verazanno Bridge at 11:30 am, then through New York Harbor around lunch and finally up the river.
