Shaw's Cove at 06:00. After motoring out of the Thames River, we set
sails in Long Island Sound and headed toward Shelter Island. We were
able to sail the entire way, even though we were against the tide. It
was a thrill sailing through Plum Gut and then tacking in and around
Bug Light. We were being flushed thirty degrees off our heading at
these two spots. Once at Dering Harbor sails did have to come in. We
are not willing to sail up to the mooring in a crowded field.
Tomorrow our Island Packet rendezvous starts. See
www.blissrendezvous.com. We are looking forward to seeing thirty
other tan boats with dozens of friends. This year for seminars we
have the experts teaching us more about mechanical things.
