Ship's Log 07/15/09
Wind is here, I think its here to stay for the last 100NM i have left. Yeahhh! Today was an easy relaxing day. So many people fishing the Hudson Canyon. I barely covered 30 NM, but its ok, I got wind now, I'll be home by Thursday Evening. I'll catch the Afternoon SW breeze and come in like all the other boaters in Newport.
I managed to take some awesome dolphin photos and movies today. Water was flat like a pool and they were playing in the bow wake.
I also end-for-ended the chain. It was so rusty from being anchored in Salinas for 18 months. So every time I anchored it would get the deck so rusty, it made me wanna vomit. So at least now I have about 150' of healthy galvanized chain to work with before the rusty part comes out. But how often am I gonna need more then 150' of chain in New England. So that will be great. I also marked every 25 feet so I know how much I have out.
I made pork chops and prepared a meal for tomorrow. I am running out of everything but its good timing anyway. So next time I write it will be from Newport harbor.
