Our First Ocean Sail

Yesterday we motored across the shipping lanes south of NYC traveling due east to Point Lookout, Long Island to visit Jim's Mom for a couple of weeks. White sand beaches and a perfect blue sky were finally joined by a light SE breeze. So we decided to raise all the sails (including the code zero), and we had a perfect sail along the south shore of Long Island....sailing should always be this comfortable! Arrived at the dock at Fisherman's Catch Restaurant which is across the street from Jim's Mom. We will stay here as long as the shrimp boats don't come back from the Carolinas to catch scallops. Jim's Mom, Jeanne, had tears of happiness when she saw us coming down Reynolds Channel.
