Agreement.

Now that I can actually see their Spot listings, it seems they've been
under way for the past 3 hours, starting at dark o'clock.

They have been able to go the right direction for 2 hours.

Considering the weather we're experiencing between where they are and
where they want to be, that's not particularly where I would want to be
nor where I'd want to point to from there right now.

Tonight is a great night to crawl into the berth with my lovely lady
and ignore everything else as we warm the "V" up.

Yes, not the way I'd do the trip but whatever. On a nice day I prefer
to motor right down the NJ beaches about 200 yards out and enjoy the
scenery.

Looks like they are in for a cloudy, cool and windless night with just
a small sliver of a new moon.

Hell, that describes ANY night in ANY weather!.....(c;

Sailing and going somewhere is secondary......

Off Long Branch, currently, and as commented, not much wind. However
later tonight it's supposed to pipe right up.

We started with a reef and the staysail, but have the genny out now,
as well. When it picks up, once in a while, to 8-10, we move right
along :{))

Back on watch, Lydia's hitting the hay, despite our both being very
well rested...

That's a good start. Be safe out there - lot's of *big* boat traffic
off Cape May.
