This post covers the period of May/June when we traveled north. The daily detail is interesting only t us and so the pictures tell the story fairly well. Overall it was an uneventful trip of about 550 miles in very good weather and calm seas except for THAT day off New Jersey when furniture was flying and Bella wanted off the boat.
We traveled up Chesapeake Bay, down the Delaware Bay, up the New Jersey coast, through NYC and into Long Island Sound. Our friend Jack joined us in New Jersey and was a welcome and fun new crew addition. Really good anchorages in Oyster Bay, Dering Harbor, and a very special night in Block Island. While there we saw our old sloop GLORY which was a really long-odds encounter.
Jack is a birder and he spotted an osprey nest in Dering and we all watched a fledgling take flight for the first time.
