WE MADE IT!!!!
We had a great day on the water and brought Y Knot Now into her new home slip in New Rochelle promptly at 4:00pm today. We left Cape May, NJ under clear skies at 5:15am this morning. Seas were 3 to 4 feet in a SE swell. Wind was out of the WNW and built a choppy wave on top of the swell until early afternoon. By the time we got close to NY Harbor the seas began to settle a bit, but the boat was covered in salt spray. We had a major clean up to do upon our arrival.
Tom Siriani the owner, his buddies Richie and Jeff Harris were on the dock to greet us as we came in. It was nice to get the boat home and complete a trip that started for me back on May 28; 16 days ago. We covered 1,531 miles on just 1,428 gallons of diesel. The Mainship with her Yanmar engine really ran well the entire trip. The horsepower to weight ratio on this engine is impressive.
Looking forward to getting home tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who followed along and provided words of encouragement during the trip. It means more than you know when you are in "Two Way Fish Camp" or battling a tropical storm.
Stay tuned; next trip could be as early as Monday.
