Septmember 19

We didn't have any wind today so we motored all day.  We also had to fight the tide the whole day so it was slow go.  We are in Port Washington NY. on Manhasset Bay.  This is the last stop on Long Island Sound.  We are about 4 miles from Throngs Neck bridge.  Peter skippered all day which gave me a break, I even took a short nap.  We did see a lot of people boating today, however all the sail boats were just floating around.  I didn't take any good pictures today, it was kind of hazy.

Tomorrow is a big day, we will be going through Hells Gate.  We have to time the current just right.  I will let you know how it went tomorrow night.

  1. I bet Hells Gate is still better than an in service day! HA!

  2. Forgot to ask if you could see Plum Island. If you did, I hope you were able to take a couple of snap shots of my old stomping grounds!

    I'm heading to KS tomorrow for the rest of the week. I'll give you a call later.

  3. Hi Greg,
    I went through Hell Gate in the S.E.S. Nauset, 42' ketch we Orleans Sea Scouts built, around 1957. We went under Hell Gate bridge with a large barge and five other large ships. It was very sloppy. Good luck!
