The early bedtime last night was a good thing because the captain had us all up and rolling by 5 to pick up the current. Calm seas, quiet winds from our back and a strong current. We are averaging 8 knots. Saw a high of 9.4. With continued wind we may make Cape May by noon. The plan is to continue up the coast to New York. An hour repair of the toilet was part of the morning activities. We are continuing to look for the large bottle of olive oil that we both know we brought on board but no one can find.

Hope that you’re now in Cape May and enjoying some down time. Enjoyed reading all the posts about your early trip adventures. Jane and Dick
Looks like we will sail overnight up the coast and be in Manhasset Bay in time for dinner on Sunday! Great sail up the coast so far today.
