Hello Everyone,
After a great summer on the Narragansett Bay, I'm starting south to enjoy the winter on "Lauren B"... I've got a tight window of opportunity in the next week and planning to throw the lines as early as tomorrow or Sunday. Depending on time, I am hoping to make it as far south as Norfolk on this first leg but may stop short in Great Egg Harbor, NJ if timing doesn't work out for the whole journey. The weather is looking good with winds SW 10-15, 2-6 seas and nice temperatures.. Maybe some rain along the way but forecast to dissipate over the weekend to the south.
Has anyone made the coastal trip from New England South? I was wondering experiences good or bad on taking the Long Island Sound/ NYC East River route versus setting course southward after leaving the bay... Surely the LI Sound route would be very scenic and fun but time is not on my side and there is always the trip north in June.
Also, if any local vikings are interested to go along as crew, I would welcome 1 or 2 for this fun little trip. All those, regardless of experience are welcome as this will be a fun lil coastal cruise.
Look forward to hearing back.....
