Adventures at Sea

An amazing day of sailing today. Starting at the Statue of Liberty up the East River through the city. We reached the along Island sound with 10-20 knots of breeze south. Boat speed was 8-15 knots making the 80 miles up the sound exciting. Beautiful seaside homes and scenery.

New York Here we are!!

Left Atlantic City early morning and had excellent wind out of the south at 10-15 knots. We covered 93 miles in 11 hours top speed was 16.6 knots. Fun sailing and glad to be in NYC. We blew up the spinnaker halyard and shrimped the code zero 18 miles from the city. Came in with the blast reacher doing 9-14 knots. Spotty fog but great to get ihete before dark.

New York Here we are!!

Foggy motor sailing

Two days of mostly motoring with some sailing. Lots of fog with less than 200 yards visibility. Rather chilly and wet the wind chill was in the 50’s. Burr!!!

Final Run

18 May 2019

We are 275 miles from Horta. The spinnaker has earned its keep. Not sure how much time the sail saved us but it's been the workhorse for most of the last 6 days and likely the next 24 hours. Seas are 3-4 feet wind is 11-14 knots with boat speed 9.5-11 at 90 degrees apparent..

We are very excited to be arriving with ideal conditions during the last week. Especially since it looks like we we will arrive in the morning with good visibility, always a plus when entering an unfamiliar port!

We provisioned well only running low on eggs and bread. Plenty of fuel and water remaining..
