Lovely Long Island

We are in lovely Long Island. On Saturday, we had a not so perfect trip over here from Georgetown. Wind was on our nose at around 20 knots. The seas were abit rough going out the cut; by the time we reached Hog Cay the seas settled but the wind was still out of the wrong direction. We did sail around 3 hours (with tacking) and made about 5 miles in the right direction! After a 45 mile trip (should have been 30 something) we made it to Thompson Bay to set the anchor. We have ben enjoying life here, with "Mutual Fun", Rhapsody, and It's About Time". Things are pretty convenient - groceries, laundry, and today we will do internet. When in Long Island, it is recommended that you rent a car to see the island, so we did. Randy, Jeannie, Carol, and us rented the car and went sightseeing around the south end of Long Isand. We went to Clarencetown, the Blue Hole, Gordons, the ruins of the Diamond Salt Flats, and the highlight was a stop at Max's Conch Bar - the absolute best cracked conch ever! Not sure when we will leave here - weather dependent.

You didn't mention Long Island Breeze Resort. Is it still in business?
