Sunny and beautiful here!

Hi folks,

Good bye Kyle! It got a bit crazy last night, but really, it wasn't tropical storm strength. We watched the meter and saw 30 knots a couple of times, but it basically stayed in the lower 20's for the most part. We could see by the direction of the wind just where we were in the storm. Pretty much went counter-clockwise all night until we had gone full circle and the wind started to diminish!

We spoke to Herb yesterday and he gave us 2 days straight of fair weather, so we're off to Portland today. We should get there sometime late Tuesday. We would have aimed for Cape Cod, however, Herb advised us to be off the open water by Wednesday noon at the latest. We're hoping to have the boat back together and sailing an hour before high tide at 11 a.m.

We'll talk to John this morning on the Ham and he will probably update our position then.

Dawn
