Tuesday, August 20. Day 44 This morning we raised anchor to go the 1.83nm across Shelter Island Sound to Brewers Greenport Marina. Anchored almost in the middle of the sound was a very big power boat that had a helicopter on the back deck. It had what looked like “T6” on the side, and no […]
Monday, August 19, Day 43 The morning was spent with Lorraine updating the blog. She’s gotten behind with doing other things. Phil spent the time reading and puttering. By early afternoon, we were ready to get off the boat and explore. First order of business was to get rid of the garbage. At the town […]

Thursday, August 1 Day 28 This morning while the mooring field was calm, Phil winched Lorraine up the mast to put the windex on. Going up with the windex in a bucket, it caught on the inner stay right where it connects I to the mast. It was this close (see my fingers together?) to […]
We took our time getting up and relaxing this morning as we weren’t going far. Phil made French Toast for breakfast, using up our last roll and the sour dough bread from the bakery. It was good as his secret ingredient is, drum roll please, rum! It got us into a conversation we had with […]
We woke naturally before the alarm went off at 6am to get ready to go to Long Island Sound (LIS) via the East River and under Hell Gate Bridge. First we had to take the outboard engine off the dinghy, then we docked the boat on the end of the floating dock and took showers. […]
