Day 1: 50 def, cold, raining, we launched from OB and sailed through Long Island Sound uneventfully, through Hell's Gate which was an exciting first! But it was still low vis, raining, and very cold. Greeted by the Atlantic Ocean with huge swells and high winds. Began watch. 4/7 crew completely debilitated due to seasickness including me. Worst night of my life. 100NM

Day 2: Cold, rain, high swells, and high winds continued throughout the night with continued seasickness until sun came up and wind and swells lessened. Reached the mouth of the Delaware Bay to completely flat water and high spirits returned. Reached the C&D canal by nightfall. 120NM

Day 3: Warm, sunny, low wind, high spirits, we motored most of the way through the Chesapeake Bay to Annapolis. 60 NM
