“Strong Currents” in Stratford

The navigation app made it clear, as did the marina welcome email. On the approach to the marina you could see the current on the buoys and I was flying along despite spending most time in neutral, so I was not unaware that entering the slip would be challenging. Yet despite all that, I was sideways to the slip in a heartbeat!!!!! Fortunately Aisling has both the power and grace to overcome my mistakes and she remedied the situation with a combination of both. I matched her assertiveness on the second pass and a third attempt was unnecessary!!

Dorian has been lurking all week. We have been fortunate to be able to continue with our original plans thus far. Today was/is a planned marina day and given the small craft warnings it’s right where we should be. With luck, the wind/waves will be within acceptable range by noon tomorrow and we will head to Safe Harbor Capri on Long Island as our staging location for Hell Gate and Liberty Landing early Sunday morning.
