We're a little concerned about Tropical Storm Florence, making her way up the eastern seaboard. Early predictions were for 3-4 meter high waves, but now they've scaled that down to 1.5-2 meters. Still too much for us, plus winds over 20 knots. In two days we can make it to Narraganset Bay and find a secure place for a few days. But to get there we need to keep heading east.
We've got a good wind today, but it's out of the East, so we're close-hauled all day. Once the tide turns against us, about 1pm and as we pass Old Saybrook and the Connecticut River, we have no choice to but to motor-sail until evening.
Home for the night is in West Harbor on Fishers Island, NY. A few other sailboats are anchored with us. Pork chops and rice pilaf completes the day.
