Hog Point Cove

We made it to Hog Point Cove last night, and will get underway again shortly. We tried to sail a bit the first few hours, but with little room and a head wind, we didn't make much progress.

It did give me a chance to checkout a few things, and all went well, so all in all I was pleased. We did cover 40nm yesterday, so it wasn't a bad day, however I got a little too much sun and will wear trousers and a long sleeve shirt today.

Zoe hung out in the stern sheets the entire trip and seemed to enjoy it, even with a life jacket and tether. I tried to keep her shaded in the 80 heat, but that was mainly in the afternoon. We had about 50% cloud cover in the morning, and an apparent wind of around 20 knots all day -- 2-3 points off the port bow -- that helped keep her cool.
