Position: 43º 39.492′ N 70º 14.862′ W WE DID IT! We arrived in Portland, ME with the sunrise this morning after an ideal 1400 nautical mile passage. By lunchtime, we will be with our parents again for the first time in 3 years. Convivia had one last treat for us. As we entered the inner […]

Position: 40º 49.05′ N 69º 15.21′ W We lost our wind entirely today. It’s been 12 hrs of motoring already, and we probably have a dozen more before the wind fills in. Match that with a 1.7 knot counter current, and you have some real slow going. We used the time to make power and […]

Position: 31º 59.958′ N 77º 33.072′ W Today was the rainy, squally day that we have been expecting (while still hoping against) since we left Georgetown. Its been a lot of motoring and a lot of staying out of the rain. We had some pretty epic nachos for dinner though, so… All is well.
