Long Island

Well we have been here just a week. It has been very relaxing. We walked across the island to the Atlantic side to see the beach. It was quite cluttered with plastic items but I'm not sure they came from the ocean dumped off of boats or from folks leaving junk on the beach. Very sad.

We have not really connected with other cruisers until today. People seem to have buddy boats that they mingle with or keep to themselves here but we met a couple who have a dog as well today so we are going to meet them on the beach tonight for a playmate.

So aside from boat chores like cleaning the stainless, sweeping up sand and filling the diesel and water jugs on shore and hauling them back to Spunky, we have spent our days reading and planning the next leg of our journey.

The northeast swells will end tonight and we will leave tomorrow a.m. for the north tip of Long Island and spend the night in Calabash Bay and then on to Conception on Friday. The winds will kick up above 20 knts on Sat so we want to be tucked in to our next anchorage by then. Hope this finds you all well and warm.
