Yes, we're here and the welcome party is over. The delivery crew has gone
off to sleep ashore and I'm going to sleep alone aboard my latest design for
one last night before flying home tomorrow.

We went down the New Jersey coast in Wednesday's snotty weather. We were
close in but going straight into the swells with the wind and waves abeam.
This morning we bucked straight into 15 - 20 up Deleware Bay. Both times,
the delivery captain who has been on a lot of boats said, "I can't believe
we're keeping up 18 - 20 knots in this stuff and are this comfortable."
That made me fell pretty good, let me tell you.

I'll probably do a we4b site about this trip eventually but, now, off to
bed.

Congrats Roger, and thank you for sharing this trip with us, it's been
fun following you with Spot. You passed within about 40 miles of my place.
