Just looked at Skip's spot log. He's left the anchorage inside Coecles
Harbor on Shelter Island and appears to be headed back towards the LIS. Via Email, he had mentioned going to Three Mile harbor while out between the forks, but apparently he has changed his plans. I advised him earlier via email that he needs to find a well protected anchorage with good holding before Saturday, when Hanna's remnants will be passing through. Where he just left would have been ideal. Three Mile Harbor would have been good as well. His immediate problem may be that he is about to try transiting Plum Gut against an outgoing tide. He'll be up against as much as 5 knots of opposing current and depending on wind, he may encounter an 8 foot standing wave that he will have to sail through. Plum Gut can be pretty easy if you do it during slack tide. Second best would be having the tide pushing you through. He picked the worst option. Hopefully there is almost no wind there when he arrives and he can motor through (slowly) without issues. It will also be quite a "washing machine". Moreso if the wind is opposing. Wonder where he's headed? |
