Arrival in Port Jefferson NY - North Shore Long Island

After stopping in Cape May for one night, we went to Atlantic City. Thought we would be there for a night or two; but Dick & Jan on "Cambia" arrived & we played in AC for a week! Got to do the Boardwalk & Casinos - what a different experience! With the help of Dick & Jan; we learned more about playing the machines. On our last day in the casino, Laurie won $80.00! You would have thought she won a million with her excitement! Jim had no luck at all. On Saturday, 6/19, we thought we planned for the perfect wind to go the rest of the way up the Jersey Coast - south winds 10 - 15; 2 foot waves. Turned out to be more downwind than we would have liked, but it was a good trip anyway. Took us 14 hours to get into Atlantic Highlands - we were there by 1930. On the way we saw a whale off Manasquan Inlet. Spent one day in the Highlands; doing laundry and having a farewell dinner with "Cambia" at the Memphis Pig Out Restaurant. Left at 1000 on 6/21 to ride the current up the East River, through HellGate (at 10 knots) and into Long Island Sound. It couldn't have been a more beautiful day! We picked up a mooring ball (free) in Port Washington for the night, and then off again towards Port Jefferson where we will be staying awhile to visit the O'Sheas.
