[status] On mooring, Port Washington, Manhasset Bay, NY, USA. We bid adieu to Black Rock YC and Fairfield CT today, taking advantage of a great NNE wind to sail further down Long Isl Sound, 35 nm closer to NYC. We had a lovely stopover in CT, catching up with friends and making new ones. Due to the extraordinary generosity of our friends we were able to leave Kailani on a mooring while we made major memories by taking Sophia to NYC for the first time via train. We will supplement her view of this iconic city by sailing down along Manhattan on Friday, weather permitting. We felt like the last cruisers up this far north until arriving here today, where there are a handful of cruising sailors waiting anchored out. For today it was all cold and rain, but the lovely wind and lack of traffic were fabulous! Kettle is on and tomorrow should be another Indian Summer sunshine day.
