Sailing (and motoring) Down Long Island Sound
We were soooooooooo relieved the Hurricane Irene left us unscathed. We were back on "Kismet" on Monday; got her all dressed up again. By evening, she was looking as good as ever. We said good-by to Marianne & Ray on Tuesday morning, got some fuel & water, and headed out of Narragansett Bay. We caught a positive current, motored most of the way, but sailed the last hour to anchor for the night in the Harbor of Refuge at Point Judith (very rolly!) Yesterday, we motored 72 miles to arrive in Milford, CT to anchor behind Charles Island for the night (very comfortable anchorage)! Today we are sailing with the Code Zero at about 4 - 5 knots to Port Washington, NY. We will stay there til Sunday while we take the LIRR to NYC to visit Jamie & Liz. It was amazing to see all the debris in the sound from the Hurricane - especially near the mouth (about a 8 mile stretch) of the Connecticut River.

Glad you made it through the storm unscathed. More coming, though. When are you heading back this way?
