2022-08-21 Up the Deleware, Cheasapeake City, and Swan Creek at Rock Hall. Getting ready to haul

We left Lewes on a good day, and timed the current perfectly to head north on the Delaware Bay, and through the C&D canal to Chesapeake City.   We went 64.3 miles in 9.5 hours.    We only sailed a couple of hours unfortunately, but to average 6.76 knots is pretty good, considering our best motor speed on one engine (which is what we normally do to save fuel) is only 5.4 knots.

We left Lewes early in the morning and had a spectacular sunrise.

Gorgeous sunrise leaving Lewes, DE around 6:00 a.m.

2020-08-14 Hot in Port Washington, and cold heading south

We had a nice sail to Port Washington.  Had a couple of thunderstorms with 30 knots, but we had plenty of warning, and dropped sails before it hit.  Charm got a brief fresh water rinse.  We also sailed through a race going on.  Fun to see all the spinnakers flying.

Storms coming

2022-08-07 Sag Harbor, Old Saybrook with good friends, Thimble Islands and Port Jefferson

It has been a hot week.

We left Montauk lake, and motored over to Sag Harbor.  

Leaving Lake Montauk 

2022-07-30 Back to Newport and Montauk Lake

Left Cuttyhunk anchorage and planned to head to Block Island.  The winds did not cooperate, so instead of Block Island, we went back to Newport.  Had a nice sunrise to start the trip.

2022-07-23 Newport, RI, Martha's Vineyard and Cuttyhunk. Finished sling seat.

We had a couple of good days in Newport before we left, got groceries, had a nice lunch out, and woo-hoo finished the sling seat sewing project.  

Finishing up the sling seat on the boat.  It is 9.5' long, so takes up a lot of room

2022-07-17 Newport, Rhode Island

We left New London, and moved out to Fisher Island, thinking it would not be as lumpy of an anchorage.  Had a nice sail for the entire 10 miles, that was 7.63, but a bit into the wind, so had to tack, adding on mileage and time, but we did not care, as it was a beautiful sunny day.

New London Ledge light - light winds and flat seas

2022-07-10 Happy 4th, Boat Projects, Port Jefferson, Black Rock, New London

 We stayed a while in Port Jefferson.  Walked to groceries and relaxed for a couple of days while Kris's hand healed.   We also did some boat projects.   

Finally finished the dodger.  Complex curves are difficult to sew.  This one curved section was the toughest sewing project yet.  Strained Kris's patience, and several "time outs" were necessary.

Starboard side dodger.  Short section on right was last bit to sew.
