LOOKING OUT MY BACK DOOR
AUG 29 2001 at Sunrise
A starboard tack close reach on the main and #3 jib with Iron Mike steering. Having departed Clinton (CT) Harbor (Duck Island Roads) at 0415 hrs and haping to make the fair current at Hell Gate (70NM) by no later than 2100 hrs. It is good that the boat is moving at between 4.0 and 5.5 kts through the water in a fair current  which gets the speed over the Long Island Sound bottom at between 6.5 and 7.2 kts.

Beautiful sky and sunrise, righteous motion in the 1.5 foot chop, pleasant temperatures (high 60's), perfect chuckle from the transom and a shushhh from the lee bow.

What the Hell !!!  You can't lose'em all.
