Lots of sailing and lots of good shore time as well. Highlights include: The outside trip from Cape May to Block Island, wind almost 30 knts on the beam the whole way and phosphorescent jellies at night. Seas 6-8. Caribbean style navigation in 35knts (avoiding shoals by water color) on the trip from Martha's Vineyard to Nantucket (charts showed 20 feet, actual depth 3-7 feet, boat draws 5, interesting), Nantucket, a wonderful island An osprey attacking my wind vane. The bird was considerate, though. He dropped it on the deck, not in the water, and didn't break it. Entering Woods Hole in dense fog, using my conch shell as a foghorn. Thank the Lord for chartplotters. The Mystic Seaport Museum Sailing into Newport for the first time, and helming the 12 meter Intrepid. Sailing under the bridges on my youth, Throgs Neck, Whitestone, Triboro, 59th St. (Queensboro), Williamsburg, Manhattan, Brooklyn - all for the first time. A $30 mooring 3 blocks from Broadway (79th St. Boat Basin) Watching the World Trade Center disappear behind a thundersquall while less than 2 miles away. Sailing past the Statue of Liberty at sunset (wonderful pics) A sleighride from the Verrazzano Bridge to Sandy Hook (40 knot winds). Sailing among the dolphins off the NJ coast. Loosing the alternator/water pump belt in the C&D canal, towing the 38 footer with the 8.5 foot, 2hp dink while installing the spares, all in front of the Admiral who was waiting to have dinner with us at Shaeffers in Chesapeake City. A wild finale sailing down the Chesapeake in a 4 foot chop and 30 knot winds. I'm putting together a site with the log, pictures and video. I'll post a link when it's done.
