Log of s/v Bellerophon

We left Newport this morning and headed north in a very light wind and against the ebb. We decided that we'd turn around and head south instead, for Beavertail and ultimately Dutch Harbor. We ended up sailing straight into relatively heavy seas in a fairly light wind, so motor sailing turned out to be the best option. Once we rounded Beavertail, the wind died down and we gave up on the sailing part. Our high tech weather radar showed some serious thunderstorms and rain approaching, so we made for harbor and picked up a moorint at about 5 bells. We were all snug on the mooring when it started to rain. Right now we're enjoying a cigar and wondering when we can start drinking. Our goal is to make it until 8 bells.
