The Voyage South: Today's Pictures In Reverse Order (I Was Too Tired to Rearrange Them)

Here's the sunset from Port Jefferson where we are anchored tonight. The bloody color comes from N.Y. City's lovely air quality, I'm sure.

Here we are motoring down the Sound. There was NO wind all day but I did put the mainsail up for a while so I could call myself a sailor.

This is the lighthouse at Orient Point, the entrance to Long Island Sound. We feared the dreaded tidal rip in this passage, but timed it just right and the weather was with us. This trip is all about timing. Piece of cake.

This fine birdy friend joined me for dinner in Port Jefferson Harbor. She was bold as brass and in need of friendship. I gave her some meat.

This was this morning leaving Dering Harbor at dawn. We go to bed with the sun and get up with it, boil water for coffee and shove off. Tomorrow, we make the final approach to N.Y. City and then, the next day, through the East River.
