Greetings everyone,
I ended up purchasing the E29 I asked you all about a couple of weeks ago. I just finished my maiden voyage in her. What a journey! Started Wednesday before last in Norwalk, Connecticuit and ended in Norfolk, Virginia last night. Unfortunately due mostly to wind direction, I didn't get too much actual sailing time. I traveled through 35MPH wind gusts, seas getting up to 8 feet, and miles after miles of beautiful landscape. My travel route was from Norwalk across the Long Island Sound to the East River, through Hell's Gate, down to the Manasquan Inlet, through Point Pleasant canal, down to Tom's River, out the Barnegat Inlet, hugged the coast to Virginia, where I traveled through an inlet and a series of small channels to come out in the Chesapeake Bay. What an incredible adventure. I started out alone, and picked up my dad in Tom's River. The boat sails wonderfully, and the atomic 4 runs better than I could have asked for. The last day, we motored from 6am until 9:30pm that night without stopping. I will have to take some time off in the near future and get her down to Jacksonville NC. I plan on traveling the ICW. Pictures to follow when I get to my computer. Thank you all for the purchasing advice.
