We did the same last year, while my wife was recovering from Achilles tendon surgery.
Cast & crutches until Labor Day. With kid. And 3 cats.

And even though we worked full time last millennium, and my wife got her Masters, we
managed to go take at least one long trip every summer, sometimes two. We were even doing
overnights in the month before Amelia was born.

So you kept bragging that you were going to take one trip "out of sight of land." What
happened to that? Wimp out?

This was an "off year" for us, but we still took three trips further and longer
than any
you did this summer.

Is your wife in school full time too? If so, then bravo!

But, I did spend an enormous amount of
time on dinghies this year and there was Wednesday
night racing.

That's all "sight of land" sailing, Stevey! According to the group, it doesn't
count!
We went to the Thimbles, Centerport, Port Jeff, Jersey Coast and so on.
Get back to me when you've sailed.

RB

Jersey City is not the same as Jersey Coast!

We sailed out after JC.
Sorry, you lose again!

RB

You mentioned going out the Narrows but never gave a report of going past Sandy Hook. Now
you're claiming you went down the coast? I'm rather skeptical!

I believe his furthest southing was West Bank Light in the Lower Bay
on my boat.

Actually we went to Shark's River area, but not on your boat or Alien. We were
sailing my friend's Galaxy 32 from Oyster Bay.

RB

Ah, so. Typical Booby, West Bank L is a scant 5 miles from the bridge, and still within
NY city limits. He made one cryptic comment that he went "sailing about 20 miles off
from Verzano bridge" but never mentioned passing Sandy Hook. I guess his miles are about
a quarter the size of ours.

Wait, did I just list a bunch of places within a stone's throw of my marina? I
meant Halifax, Bermuda, Charleston, Tortola and Trinidad.
