Beautiful day with perfect wind in spite of low predictions and a bleak looking situation at the dock. Had an absolutely lovely sail out past the bridge, around carol island and the. A relaxed downwind almost run back. We put the main away shortly after passing the bridge on the WAH back and just used the Genoa. Made 4.5 knots most of the way with just that. Very relaxing. Got text from nyc right before bridge on upwind leg, was able to call from below after we passed the bridge and I let James, David & Fumin get us into a good position to head around carol island and jibe through FSK.
Akimbo, low 70s, 10ish knots easterly. 12-4pm
Amtrak to nyc that night.
