This morning in Westbrook the marina had frozen over, there was a 1.4 inch of ice!! When Pete and Pete broke free of the dock, they ‘broke ice’ through the harbor, and left a perfect broken ice trail behind them… because they are pirating docks at marinas, leaving broken ice /water trails behind…doesn’t make them so sneaky…
They entered New Haven CT just before sunset this evening… pretty standard day… motored most of the day...headed straight into the wind… they started tacking back and forth, and after three hours of tacking windward (sailing upwind), and even though they had been going 4 knots for three hours in a good wind they only had gone upwind a mile and a half!!! Fighting wind, 3-5 ft waves, and fighting the tide… they realized they couldn’t fight nature anymore, and started motoring again!!
They went to happy hour at a swank restaurant in their “Irish seaman sweater and carharts”, they plugged in their cell phones and laptops to charge and drank a beer and ate chips.
Send them some good thoughts, and may the wind be at their backs!!!!!!!!! (for once on this trip!!!)
