Long Island, Day 2

Another day of wind and clouds. The wind is starting to swing to the northeast, but at 20 knots with higher gusts we are still getting a pretty good chop around the boat with only 1/3 of a mile fetch from the shore. Had to run the generator this morning, too many clouds the last couple days for the solar to keep up. I need to equalize our batteries, except that function does not seem to work on our new ProMariner charger. The vendor's email help is useless, they automatically reply they will get right back to me but they never do.

After lunch we went ashore to fuel up our rail gas cans and visit the Bureau of Tourism for WIFI. Mark & Karen need to find a notary and mail out some paperwork. The manager there drives them around to the necessary places to complete their tasks, which takes over an hour. 

Late in the afternoon we attend a cruiser get together on the beach.

Many friends we first met back in January

Back on the boat Linda calls her younger sister Sabrina.
