I was sailing close hauled on the starboard and port side. I used the autopilot steering the boat at 37 degrees to the apparent wind. Apparent wind was 12 to 19…"

We met you in Oyster Bay Long island sound. Did you find anymore cruising kids yet? We have just arrived in Key West and are heading to St Pete for the show then maybe the Caribbean. Hope to see you there. P.S let us know before you leave the US and we'll pass in NZ info of reaching Opua BOI and Cam's Grandad's moorings etc.
I hope you are having a blast in NE. Can't wait to catch up in NYC.
Enjoy!
The last time we were in Maine we went out on a beautiful wooden day sailor. It was so tranquil. At least during the day. In the evening, we ended up at a house party with Chris O'Donnell. How funny is that. I thought, hmmm that guy looks familiar! lol
How was your trip to Maine?
