Hi F and F ( formerly known as Family and Friends)
Well , we couldn't say enough about how efficient this Marina is when it comes to being on time and getting the repairs sorted out!
So morning by 9 am the boat was back into the water , we had paid the bill which was surprisingly lower than we feared it would be. Marina workmen even cleaned off some barnacles and washed the hull. So we were ready to go!
By 10 am we started our journey and had a great run up the Long Island Sound. At Plum Gut , a deep narrow channel that divides Orient Point and Plum Island we turned in the make the last part of the journey into Gardiners Bay and Sag Harbor.
This channel is known for its rough waters and is best done at slack tide. We had timed it so we were close to that and had an uneventful trip in the bay and the winding last stretch into Sag Harbor being careful to avoid the group of rocks just by the breakwater. Around 2 pm , our friendly Harbor guy was there to meet us and direct us to our mooring balls .We relaxed before taking the water taxi in to shore and meeting up with Blair , Danielle, little Seb and Danielle's parents Sylvia and Tony, in the quaint but pricy town of Sag Harbor.mWe all had a nice wander up the street and ended at the LT Burger casual restaurant for delicious hamburgers ( that is all of us except Seb , who preferred his own baby milk speciality!)
We topped this off with an icecream cone , a summer tradition , before it was time for all to head home, especially for Seb who was ready to go to bed. He wasn't the only one as we have found after a days trip by boat we are ready to hit the sack early also!
Over and Out,
Skipper and First Mate.
