It turned out to be anything but calm. What was supposed to be an easy day quickly turned into a long, wet, and uncomfortable slog motoring into rougher seas than forecast. Join me as I battle headwinds, waves, and exhaustion to make it safely to Newport. This one really tested both me and Nauti Dogs. 📍 Route: Bridgeport, CT ➜ Newport, RI ⛵ Conditions: 20+ knots on the nose, short choppy seas 🎥 Watch to the end for my thoughts on solo passages like this one.
