Under overcast skies, drizzle and rain, and temps in the 40s we departed hell. The alarm went off at 0530, we jumped up and readied the boat. In contrast with the previous day it was almost completely calm so we decided to bend on the head sail. Up went the sail, we forgot to unfurl the furler line, down came the sail, out came the furler line, up went the sail…again, done. Engine started, last minute checks complete, untied the dock lines and departed at 0639…not too bad! The marine forecast was calling for winds SSE 15-20 knots gust to 25 with four foot seas, actual winds were less than seven knots and seas were one-two feet, real nice sea state which made for a real nice ride!

We hooked our gps to the laptop and fired up the nav software which worked perfectly, radar worked well also:

We’re here for the next few weeks while we pack up, complete the sale of the house and get some boat work done. We plan on departing for Maine around the first of June. More later!
Hi Guys,
She looks good with some sail up on her. Also the foul weather gear looks great. Talk to you later.
