Day 35

Last night we stayed up late, for us, 10:30, sitting on  a sailboat docked next to us with a young couple from New Orleans that just bought the sailboat in New Hampshire. They both quit their jobs and are sailing back down south, to the Keys and then back to New Orleans by August (before hurricane season)

We shared some knowledge about the trek and had a great time chatting with them. Fair winds and following seas to James and Victoria, keep us posted.😎

Today we are heading out early as there is some weather coming our way. Currently it's a chilly 54º,  winds S 10mph and increasing throughout the day. We have nothing but ocean ahead of us, so for now looks like following seas but not fair winds. No rain though.

7:00am we are underway.

It is now 12:30 and we are in some very rough seas!!! Winds are 14 knots coming off our port and rocking us side to side;  chop is 2-3 feet, swells 3-5'.  Very gloomy out and chilly. Welcome to New England!  Looks like the seas will calm down once we get past Glouster, another 4 miles.  Hoping to make Newburyport for the night 


At 3:30 the sun came out as we pulled into Newburyport Marina, with Kevin and Eileen waiting for us and helping to tie up. 
Thank goodness, cause it was a shit show with heavy currents and the wind against us.  Kev and Eileen are the folks we bought our first boat from, Kuleana Kai (not Kunta Kinte Paulie!)  😂 
We love getting together and sharing boat stories.  Had a couple beers at the Marina and going to have dinner with them later. 

All good in the hood as we get close to the end of this incredible journey! 
Portland tomorrow!😂😢😎😢😍😢🙏
