Halfway to Newport
Halfway to Newport
Position Update:
39 49.9N by 073 16.9W
Wind NE 13 kts
It is 0700 on Friday June 1. We are about on hour from the outbound (Ambrose to Hudson Canyon) shipping lane into New York City. Staten Island is about 60 miles to our northwest. We had a great day's sail yesterday and finally managed to sail some miles with the Asymetrical spinnker. We've covered about 122 miles since leaving Ocean City at 1300 and have about 130 miles left to go to Newport. Our latest estimate has us arriving Newport Harbor at about 0300 (so much for coming in from offshore in the daylight). As we get closer to the Eastern end of Long Island we will likely regain cell coverage and plan to check in - my best guess is at around 1700 or 1800 (that's 5:00 or 6:00pm for those that don't operate on military time).
