COVID!

Happy to be returning to Illimite' after Missouri visit

Little did we know we were probably already infected with Covid

The day after we returned we moved over to a marina where

I had the rig inspected for possible replacement

While there I replaced our broken radar with a new one

Then we started heading up to the northern end of the Chesapeake

Noelle is always cooking something up even when sailing fast!

Made a stop at Rock Hall Maryland where the marina had

loaner bikes we got to use.  

Then we had an early morning start to go through the Chesapeake-Delaware Canal

We had to motor through the canal but then had a brisk downwind sail

 with over 20 knot winds down Delaware Bay to Cape May

Unfortunately our wind instrument quit working in route

As the day went on I felt sicker and sicker.

The following morning I did a home Covid test and it was positive.

We cancelled meeting with Noelle's relatives who were driving in to see us

Started to feel a little better later in the morning so we decided to depart and do an overnight

sail to Sandy Hook, outside of NYC, since some bad weather was forecasted in another day

So I went up the mast before departure and replaced our faulty wind instrument

Being sick is no excuse for not doing needed boat repairs!

Noelle and I are still isolating in Sandy Hook at anchor

I'm about recovered but Noelle is about 1-2 days behind me 

in symptoms unfortunately 

Its been a week since we last stepped off the boat
