Montauk to Block Island – wow we moved 17 miles!
We anchored in Lake Montauk from Sunday night thru Thursday morning. Temps started out decent, but by Wednesday we were back in the 90’s with high humidity. Our camera battery charger arrived on Tuesday thanks to Sandra & Don so we are …
East River to Montauk via Long Island Sound

So this cruising thing – some days are good and some days are not so good.
The rest of the run up the Chesapeake was great – anchoring at the end of the day just short of the C & D Canal (Chesapeake and Delaware Canal) at Piney Creek Cove on the Elk River. The next day we were up early for the 14 mile trip thru the …
Plugging along.
After leaving Norfolk, I mentioned before, it was a pretty bumpy ride. We made it as far as Back River and decided we couldn’t take it anymore. Izzy does not do well in rough seas and neither do I, and you know it’s bad if the Captain says …
Finally, it’s our turn.
We have watched an estimated 700 boats pass thru the Great Bridge Bridge in the last two weeks – all heading north. Saturday morning was finally our turn. Originally we had planned on leaving Friday, but severe weather was headed in our dir…
