The journey has begun. We departed Falmouth Thursday the 6th at 8:50 AM and made an over night passage to the Cape Cod Canal. We entered the canal at day brake in the fog and had a favorable current with us.  We continued the journey on through Buzzards Bay, Block Island Sound, through the Race and into Long Island sound. We decided to do another over night sail because of the 40k of predicted winds in Block Island Sound later today and tonight. We would have been stuck for 2 days somewhere east. We arrived safely but tired at 7am Saturday 8th after 44 hrs of non stop motor sailing 343 miles. We will get to visit with family on Long Island at Centerport, NY.
