Atlantic Ocean to Montauk, Long Island, NY


It took 2 nights at sea to arrive at the northern tip of Long Island in Montauk. It's quite chilly out here in comparison to being on land. Because New York juts out, we made a straight line which took us about 75 miles out from land.
Don knew some friends in Montauk from a previous trip to St. Thomas so we arranged for a to visit with Ed and Rori. After a nice dinner at their home, we returned to our dinghy but it was so windy that we it was going to be a very wet trip. So instead of seeing us off in our dinghy, Ed and Rori invited us back into their cozy, warm house.  Ahhh…the comforts of home.
