A mooring with a view

From the incredible hulk to the incredible hunk in 4 months – shedding a mere 4 stone!

We waved goodbye to our guest crew and slipped at 1230 in order to get a full ebb tide out under the Verrazano Bridge and through the Narrows heading out around Sandy Hook and then south towards Norfolk.

Back to sailing and with very light and fickle winds it was back to motoring.  A pre-prepared curry provided a very welcome supper and it was back into the routine of overnight sailing.  Avoiding tugs with very long tows to huge barges provided the after dinner entertainment.
