I realized that everyone logging onto the bulletin board may not be interested in our trip details. So, I have created a blog site to post our progress and maybe some pix if possible. The site address in http://hatter11.blogspot.com. Please visit anytime and post ?? or comments.

Next Landfall
Russell,
Our primary plan is to leave Cape May on Friday around noon or so. Then do a straight shot to Block Island......200nm or about 36hrs. Secondary plans are: if the weather is good and turns ugly soon, duck into Atlantic City or Mannasquam depending on our progress whatever is closer....if we are around Sandy Hook, we would go into the Highlands....if we are past there and are really getting battered we can duck into Fire Island Inlet. I have used that on previous trips and there is a nice safe "lagoon" within a mile of the inlet to starboard where I have tied up and rested. It looks like a municipal facility....past there there isn't much left till you get to Montauk. The weather and wind projections for Fri and Sat are showing SE turning to SW about 10 to 15kts. Both are good for going ENE. So we plan, at this point to run the rumb line to Block....
I'll post our progress on the blog and also put little snippets of info on the Board as well.

Block Island or Bust
I hope that you have fair weather with your trip up to New England.
If you find yourself in the Westbrook/Old Saybrook, CT area during any of your cruise, give me a buzz (860/674-2951) I would love to have my wife see a CD 36... we currently sail a CD33 out of Essex, CT and she keeps talking about a larger boat.
