DAY #1: Strong Winds and Following Seas!

ANZ234-140600-
Buzzards Bay-
116 PM EDT Mon May 13 2019

GALE WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EDT THIS EVENING


THIS AFTERNOON
E winds 20 to 25 kt with gusts up to 30 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Rain.

TONIGHT
NE winds 20 to 25 kt, diminishing to 15 to 20 kt after midnight. Gusts up to 30 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Patchy fog. Rain. Vsby 1 to 3 NM.

Cleared Woods Hole a couple hours ago and currently running downwind along the western shore of Buzzards Bay with just the storm jib up. Seas are a bit crazy and the boat is surfing down the back side of the swells. Given the forecast, there won't be any night sailing tonight. I'll set in somewhere, likely around Newport, and drop anchor for the evening. Rain is steady, visibility about a mile.

Very rough outline of today's sail (75nm)
