Newport
We were lucky to have winds either on our beam or aft quarter for most of the way, allowing us to us to motor sail, with the genoa, all the way to Newport. Thankfully after the eventful start to our first trip, things calmed down and the final few days were nice and quiet. We even saw some whales in the distance and were visited by some playful dolphins. 
With the help of the genoa pushing us along, aswell as the gulf stream we made great progress towards Newport and arrived safely at 10.45am on Monday 12th June – Kate’s Birthday!
We moored alongside at Newport Yachting Centre but with the price of dockage going up to $5 per foot, per night from the 15th, we only booked for 2 nights! We were cleared in through Customs & Immigration within 20 minutes of arriving and it must have been one of the easiest clearance procedures we’ve ever done!
The plan is to stay in Newport until we can get the vang repaired and some spare parts for the Generator. It is hoped we will be on our way again by the middle of next week.
