We raced down 10 ft swells all night long with shortened sail faster than we really wanted to go. Finally took the main down and just left up a scrap of a jib to delay arriving at the busy shipping lanes of the Chesapeake Bay in the middle of the night. I took over the watch at 05:00 hour and put up the Jib running in front of an East wind. After Day break we put up the Main and went in the Bay and made our way to the “ Hampton Public Marina” and comfortably docked in front of the Dock master's office. This is going to be our home until November 4^th when the Rally starts. Hampton is a small town made for Yachties with as many marinas as there are streets. I guess we will be doing a lot of reading and surfing the net in the next  nine days.Everybody here is anxiously expecting the arrival of “Sandy” just as folks in New York and New Jersey are bracing for the “Frankenstorm” that Sandy is expected to morph into. I think we will be quite safe here in Traveling Light. We hope that those of you in the path of the “Frankenstorm” will fare as well as we will…I have attached the promised first day pictures of the trip down the East River. Now that we have high speed internet connection, courtesy of the marina, I can afford to send a few pictures along..
