We left Greenport early today, 7:30 a.m. bound for Mount Sinai. Beautiful morning as we left, sunny, slight breeze. We pulled out the jib and motor sailed until we rounded Orient Point and then were dead into the wind. We rolled the jib and motored for 6 1/2 hours down to Mount Sinai. It was a Long Island Sound right now is full of logs, tree stumps, and miscellaneous floating hazards, and both of us were on watch the entire 6 1/2 hours. It was a very long day. When we pulled into Mount Sinai Harbor, the kids and Michelle were waiting on the dock, waving like crazy. Very nice welcome after such a day on the water.
Now we're at Cousin Michelle's house and will be sleeping in real beds tonight! Elsa is here, which is so great, but honestly, she really doesn't seem that affected by our presence. We definitely did not get the over-excited reception that the kids got. Its a good thing really, as it means she's totally settled here, and isn't pining for us! Tomorrow we're going apple picking, as Michelle was horrified to hear I have never taken my kids to do this. Should be fun!
