Long Island

Thursday we woke up to a mirror like calm.  Unfortunately, our plan was to sail to Long Island.  It turned out to be a day to charge the batteries as we call the days we have to motor.  We left with STAR and our plan was to fish on the way over, which we did unsuccessfully.  The big excitement of the day was seeing three whales.  In the afternoon we anchored at Calabash Bay and went snorkeling and searching for lobsters.  Again, no luck, but the fish and coral were beautiful.  We had dinner on STAR with LAST TANGO and NUTMEG.  The original plan was for everyone to come over to RONDO, but wiser heads prevailed and Gail invited us over to their much bigger and more comfortable boat.

Friday morning we went snorkeling again then we had a great sail down to Salt Pond. 

Saturday we went to the grocery store then walked over to the beach.



 In the evening we went to the Long Island Breeze Resort (http://www.longislandbreezeresort.com/) for a delicious dinner after watching the sunset.

  1. Bill, I wouldn't smile so much and look like you and Susan are living the life of luxury; because, it may make your co-workers at Lyman Morse (who will be shoveling snow once again) so jealous they may play some dirty trick on you to get even. You should post some pictures of you scrubbing the bottom of the boat.
