We left Norfolk on Tuesday at 9:30 am and sailed all day and all night until Thursday at noon. In order to sail nonstop we developed a watch system where each crew member took a 4 hour watch. I had the pleasure of a 4 am to 8 am watch on Wednesday morning during which I got to see the sunrise. It was beautiful.
Also, I realized that I never gave everyone the details of the boat. Her name is Anjalei (it's a combination of my name (Anne), my dad's name (James), and my sister's name (Leigh). She is a 38' Catalina sloop, meaning she has one mast. She draws 4' 7" (that is the measurement of the boat from water line to the tip of the keel, which is the big fin under the boat that keeps it upright). And, her beam is about 13' I believe (the width of the boat). This is the first time my dad has taken Anjalei out into the Atlantic, although I believe the previous owner had sailed her in blue water.
Our next stop is Weehawken, New Jersey on the Hudson River.
