Day 22 - We Made It! - 11-12-22

After 21 days and 21 hours at sea, at 2:30 pm we sailed in to Newport Harbor in spectacular fashion! We had two boats with family and friends, including my wife Dawn, cheering us on, honking horns and yelling greetings!. It felt so good to see so many that cared about us and wanted us to be warmly welcomed home from this journey.

Earlier in the day we were escorted by 100s of dolphins swimming around our boat, and even had a visit by a couple of humpback whales!

It was a clear and beautiful day. We could see San Clemente and Catalina islands. We had perfect wind at 10 to 12 knots as we sailed into beautiful Newport Harbor. It was truly a magical day!

For now I am going to keep it short, I am exhausted. I will write up a summary of our trip in a couple of days. Thanks for following us and for all your encouragement. It means more than you know!!
