Wasn’t Supposed to Be This Rough... Solo to Newport, RI

I set sail solo from Bridgeport, Connecticut, heading for Newport, Rhode Island — expecting a calm run up the coast. 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.

Things get pretty wild in Solomons, Maryland as I check out the local boat docking races, where crab boat captains race against the clock to slam their boats into the dock as fast as possible.
