was anyone else out on long island sound yesterday?
it was blowing like stink all day.
just returned last night. spent the night aboard only to wake up to rain
today.

if i didn't have to be back, we could have made block island in record time.
as it was, we spun the boat around and headed for home on a close haul all
day.

something i have encounter a number of times on the sound: when the wind is
out of the west--south west, it always seems to gain strength the closer i
get to the western edge of the sound. i suspect it has to do with how narrow
the area around throgs neck is, relative to the rest of the sound.

has anyone else experienced this
