What an incredible experience. I am very
comfortable with the seas and the boat....wasn't so sure about this adventure a
month ago! I can't believe I am even used to the constant noises and
rocking. I am loving it.
We are about 120 miles from Newport and are moving
along with very little sail at about 9 - 10 knots. The winds are between
20 - 25 knots, and the boat is relatively comfortable.
Hope all is well in Vermont, NY, CA, IL, CT, PA,
MA, Canada and all the other places our blogging friends are...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!!!!!!!!!!

Like wise fer sher, Dad
I have to make a comment on Sam's last note.
Her key word is relative.
It really is exciting, and a real challenge; it is also
truley exhausting to maintain ballance 24 hours a day for days, even in
your sleep. You just can't be sloppy in what you do. Each movment
and step needs to be calculated to ensure you don't slip, slam or break
something, or dash yourself into a bulkhead on the other side of the boat
because you missed your grip or lost ballance. A trip to the head in the middle
of the night is an adventure in itself. So
with adventures so easily achieved, I think we have much to look forward
to.
