Catching up

So we are windbound for day 2 in Nantucket. Day 1 had Steve going to shore and me doing dishes and reading magazines on the boat. Now on day 2 we tried to leave. We knew the wind would be strong but hoped it would be manageable. You get a false sense while in the protected Harbor. The second we were beyond the breakwater I knew we were in trouble. The wave trains were causing our motor to either come out of the water completely or swamping the poor thing. And it started to smoke again. Clearly not the way to start a 5 to 6 hour journey. So we turned around. 

I’m not a hero. Or a martyr.
