Sitting at a Dock in Point Lookout, NY
After debating our departure day from Atlantic Highlands, NJ, we made a decision to leave yesterday (June 21st). Thought we'd have the best conditions of the next couple days. Although there were small craft advisories & gusty North winds forecasted; the conditions were perfect for our 25 mile easterly sail to Point Lookout. All was great until we were going through Jones Inlet. A rain storm came through and we could barely see the buoys for the channel. Fortunately it was short-lived and we proceeded into Reynolds Channel. The Fishermans Catch dock, where we thought we could tie up was filled with 3 large fishing boats, so Jim's Mom made arrangements for us to go to a friend's dock. But.....the current was running at nearly 5 knots, so we decided to anchor in Reynolds Channel for 4 hours til slack tide. Finally at 2000, we were tied to a great floating dock. We are happy to have made our schedule to be here by June 23rd, when Lauren (daughter) & Adam (boyfriend)from Montana are arriving! Ahhh....schedules!
