Halfway to Newport

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).
