Here we are, all set for our adventure.
Last night, we had one of the more epic thunderstorms to pass through our town since we've been living here. Jagged stabs of brilliant white struck near us as the rain drummed down on the decks. We were busy mopping up the leaks where the rain worked it's way in. Someday, I swear I'll own a boat that doesn't leak...
We had the world's best neighbors over for a last going away celebration. Steve and Trish really have earned that title numerous times over. We'll definitely miss them - until we convince them to join us for a week somewhere warm and beach-like.
Not much to report on our first day as we motor-sailed it most of the way as the promised north winds failed to show up. We tucked in at our favorite stopping place - Northport on Long Island. When you think of the perfect little North East harbor and town, this is as good as it gets. We anchored out in the big bay, took a nap and then had dinner on the boat.

Great sunset for our dinner entertainment
Tomorrow is Port Washington, NY - a place to prepare for our death-defying race through Hell's Gate!
