[weather] 10kts NNE
[status] Anchored, Niantic Bay, CT, USA. Great seven hour beam reach sail from Newport today. Cold and grey days of fall are upon us and this current NE wind will continue for the week with some rain moving in tonight. We have set the hook for the night and will set sail at first light to move on from this rolly anchorage. Today we were constrained by having to time the current for entering Long Island Sound at place called "The Race" where a 5kt outgoing current against the 20kts of opposing wind would have been a problem. With that behind us, tomorrow's sail to Bridgeport should be a straightforward run down along the CT shore. It is supposed to crank up to some big winds tonight and tomorrow, but still from a favorable direction for our continued SW passage. We had 3 busy and wonderful days touring Newport RI . We will update our website with details once we are hanging out down in our next port.
