It's time to make this blog active! We (I refer to Bob, myself and the boat) have been slowly working out way southwest toward our goal of spending the winter in warmer climes. Right now we are in Jersey City in a marina across from Manhattan. It serves as a safe place to wait for the right weather window to jump off and get down the Jersey Shore into Delaware Bay. Today's email from our weather router stated that vessels are advised not to transit the waters of the Western Atlantic until Gonzalo exits the area. (maybe by Sunday) Which means we have plenty of time for museums and other enriching activities in the most exciting city in the world ! woohoo !

I will use some of the free time to introduce you to the boat and answer some questions about the benefits and the challenges of our life living aboard Sirène.

To our cruising friends who may in the path of any of the storms...stay safe.
