Wednesday night - Clinton harbor

Wednesday night Clinton Harbor, CT

Sailing Wednesday afternoon got quite wet.Thank goodness for foul weather gear. we made it through our second significant current area - The Race - with a speed over ground of 8.8 kts. Then the fog came back followed by torrential downpours. As we were lining up to enter the channel feeding the harbor we lost visibility and the skipper was about one minute from aborting entry and going back out to the sound to wait for clear weather. skipper was particularly concerned because in discussing the entry to the harbor with the marina they had mentioned to really hug the red buoys because after dredging the channel the buoys had been placed out of position. So, back to no visibility, questionable channel markings and a very narrow entrance. Then there was a break in the weather so we kept on going in. Everyone was on the lookout to find the snaking route. We arrived safely at Cedar Island Marina, had a little refreshment then went to a highly rated restaurant - Aqua - for dinner. We are not certain of the reason for the rating as we rated, on a scale of 1-10 as a 2, 4, and 4. In this rating scale 10 is the best. somehow we had a great time and ended up back on the boat for one of Yolande's Pop rock quiz nights where she plays the beginning of tracks from her ipod. Last night we started with tracks beginning with the letter C.

This morning its calm, foggy with a chance of thunderstorms this evening.

would you like to write your guess, in a comment, of where we stop tonight? I will give you a clue, it will be between here and New York City. Also we plan to arrive in the big apple on Saturday.
