I Love Sailing

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)

I would love to experience such sailing with you but I hope I would not just get in your way. Maybe you find me some menial job on board.

@Yulianna Well the sailing on this particular day was not what most people would call pleasant, but I'd love to have you along on any journey!

@sarabee1995 ⛵️ i understand that, but it would be good test for me,if i could survive it - i would not get in your way 🤗

@Yulianna You would never be in my way. And most of the journey was much more pleasant than days 1 & 2. The sun actually did come out and the rain gear did come off, lol. Each day is documented here, including one overnight sail. :)
