Had no problem leaving the dock this morning, but when we got out into the Sound, we had to slog against the wind and waves for several hours. As usual, the wind diminished by noon and then changed to the north, so we were able to sail for a few hours without the engine. That was really neat. But then the wind died to nothing, so we had to start the engine again.
Covered 41 miles. Dropped anchor in Mamaroneck Harbor right at dusk. Gale winds are predicted for tonight and tomorrow, so we might be here a while.
We can see the lights of Throg Neck Bridge from here. Pretty.
This Blog is our mother's logs from her sails aboard Jofian. Our mother, Clare Holt, wrote a log every day and after her first sail to Mexico, she bought a laptop to write and save her logs. She sailed when the World Wide Web was first created, there was not as much on the Internet back then, no Wi-Fi, Internet access was very limited. I know if she were sailing today that she would be putting her logs in a Blog, so I am doing it for her. Mom’s logs to Alaska are on saillogsalaska.blogspot.com.
