Day 1: Rough start leaving Newport as we got spin fouled badly on headsail while hoisting. Sunny and clear, decided to take inshore route and headed up Long Island doing about 9 kts SOG. Stopped for the night right before hell's gate so we could wait for the current to switch. Got spin fouled again because we tried to do a bareheaded takedown
Day 2: Lots of fun motor sailing through hell's gate and Statue of Liberty, got lots of great photos. Offshore was rough. Big rolling swell hitting us from the side meant bad seasickness. Cold, intermittent rain, miserable
Day 3: Better sea state and less rain and we made it through the offshore leg to Delaware doing ~8 kts SOG. Made it to the c&d around 4 and stopped for fuel, food, and showers. High spirits with a lovely all-female crew and Steve. Makes yesterday worth it
Day 4: GORGEOUS upwind sailing weather into Annappolis, 10 kts, no chop, smooth sailing
