Sarah with Nana and Hoolie - To the Beach!

Sarah is writing a blog (just like Grandpa!) and Matthew helps some but mostly it's in her own words. Her comment at the end about getting a Fleetwing jacket is given only on the second year of a cruise (i.e., you have to earn your jacket). So far we've given two out, Matthew and Sarah but here are three more waiting in the wings that are too young for now.

Nice, Sandy Beach

We made the run from Manhasset to Northport under motor (5 kts of wind!) and was happy that the heat abated somewhat with a high today of 86 which is a big difference from 95! We took our favorite anchorage by Sand City but further north, a few hundred yards off the north spit of land out by ourselves. A visit to the nearby beach completed the day to give Hoolie and the kids some exercise.

Tuesday we're off to Port Jefferson to get a good spot for the fireworks. They are controlling access for residents only on land but not for just anchoring out, we get a better view anyway.
