We have just arrived at the north end of Long Island and are anchored in Lake Montauk. We left Cape May yesterday, 183nm away. The weather was good for sightseeing (photo is of Atlantic City as we passed by). Not so good for sailing though. The wind was behind us but fickle, making it very bumpy - and I don't have my sea legs yet. Only saw one sailboat and one tanker, despite crossing all three shipping lanes into New York City. Did have many dolphin come and play in the bow waves for about 10 mins though. They really do look like they are having fun - at the risk of being accused of anthropomorphism by a few zoologist a I know!
