Well, I've got a grandson now. Kids bought a Nissan Quest
minivan, seems nice. Been working on my old BMW bike and
waiting for warmer weather to get it, and my boat back in
action.

The only "action" a Siedelmann is capable of is making people who see it
hurl chunks.

Does squirty cheese come out of your nostrils when you puke?

Not this season I'm sure. We'll be bopping about locally and sailing
to Mystic a couple of times to stay with friends. We missed sailing to
Great Gull Island last year (It's a research station I used to
volunteer for), so we'll try again this year. The problem is the
holding right around the island is poor for just about everything, but
a fishing friend says he knows a good spot for our boat.
If you get near City Island drop me an e-mail and we'll go for sail.
Maybe I'll hit a rock for you!

Anchoring at Great Gull Island wouldn't be much fun. Surrounded by
lots of rocks, and not much in the way of protection. You would be
better off anchoring overnight in West Harbor on Fisher's Island, or
better yet, Coecles Harbor, which is very protected and has it's own
nature preserve to explore. Much more interesting and beautiful to
look at. You can always do a daysail and picnic to Great Gull if you
want to stop there briefly for old times sake. It's not far from
either West Harbor or Coecles, and could be a place to stop over
between those two, far more desirable anchorages.




The research station is still active and I'm friends with the
director, which is why I want to visit. I'll figure something out.
Docking is not an option as there's not enough water. I used to come
on a 40 foot trawler and even that was pretty dicey. There may be
better holding near little gull and I could dinghy over from there.
But I'm nervous enough about the currents and holding to not try it on
anything but a calm day.
