Log of s/v Bellerophon

Today was a layover day in Newport. Carol met the boat, along with friends Jack and Ann. We spent the afternoon enjoying the view of Harbor Court (and a few drinks). We had a great birthday dinner for Jim at 22 Bowens and then saw Jack and Ann back on the ferry. It got cloudy and quite chilly as we boarded the launch, and just as we got settled on the boat the heavens opened up with a terriffic downpour. We're hunkered down now, very glad that we replaced a bunch of hatch seals and recaulked the main mast step before the rain started.
