I'd guess that
they must have been about 3 miles out?? So, they must have headed in to
the
shore, then dropped the anchor and then sailed back out into deep water.
This would have added at least 2 hours onto the trip!

Does that 2 hours include time for actually eating, Donal? Do you suppose
we
sailed an hour out of the way to drop anchor?
Are you sure I said we in the middle of the sound on the outward leg?

Hoooh ahhh!

As I said, there is only one thing that I can be sure of - You didn't
skipper any boat to the Thimbles last weekend!


How long did you stop at anchor for? What effect do you think that the
stop had on your arrival time? Why would you stop to eat when you are not
going to arrive at your destination until after midnight?

Who took the decision to stop?

Regards


Donal

Jeeze, Donal. Those are quite a few questions.
The stop cost us about 1.5 hours or a bit less. The effect is that we got to
Port Jeff about 1.5 hours later than if we didn't stop, rough guess without
checking currents. We stopped to eat because we could. There was no difference
bwteen ariving at 12:30 or 2:00 am to us. The decision went like this:
Honey Bunny, you wanna drop the hook so we can eat like grownups at the table?
Sure, baby. What's the hurry?
I'm "baby" in case you didn't know!

Hoooh ahhh!

So you're saying you felt familiar enough with the area to safely navigate
without the need to maintain a nav log??

I just landed a Mooron.

Might want to check the landing net.... it's back up on the boat! Just a
short swim Bob!

Sheesh!... give him a chance to dry off already!!!!

A few miles past Huntington. Dropped the hook because the bloody grill wouldn't
stay lit while underway.

RB

Hey Bubbles, there's still bait on that hook.....don't pull it up yet.

Indeed, but it's the same bait. They don't seem to care though.

RB

Think about it this way... you're catching up on all that swimming you
missed out on during your fabled trip to the Thimbles!

Thanks, you're right. We swam last night after our sail....while you sat in
front of your computer. We're also sailing tonight...and the weekend, while you
post!
Next weekend we'll anchor at Cold Springs, then spend some time at Norwalk.
Looking forward to all of your "posts" while we sail!

Bwahahhahaaha!
