The weather is confused, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. We were seeing near freezing temperatures in October as Nor'easters battered the East Coast. At the same time, more tropical storms made a late surprise appearance in the month. It was definitely a time of testing one's patience.
Sailing from New Jersey nonstop to the southern tip of Virginia. There was a small window of clear weather before the next cold front. Choppy waves and heavy winds made a difficult, but manageable sail south.
Stardust even (accidentally) passed a submarine.
