First light after a night passage, always anticipated and
appreciated. The dim glow of lights from the shoreline, a sliver of
moon, and stars above was comforting as we made our way north about 10
miles off shore. Stephen and I took 2 hour watches on a thankfully
uneventful passage with silhouetted dolphins jumping beside us and the
sparkle of phosphorescence behind the stern. Although uneventful, the
sea was incredibly rolly and uncomfortable, tossing us side to side all
night. 22 hours after we raised anchor we moored in the oldest city in
the US. A good long nap and we’ll be ready to explore.
