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!!!

Today we got over the hump. With 135 miles to go, we now have both engines working, full main(no jib halyard yet), relaxed seas, settled tummies and beautiful clear sky. What we could use is a 35 degree lift. We are sailing closer to Gibraltar than Lisbon. And 8-10 knots more wind. Currently the wind is12-13@ 30 degrees Lisbon is at 62 degrees. Originally we thought we would get there first thing in the morning. Now it's looks like noon or a little later.
