Lars' girlfriend arranged a surprise sail & swim for his 27th birthday, and Montauk gave him perfect conditions for a perfect outing. We sailed up behind hither woods for a picnic and swim and then had a easy reach under blue skies and fair winds back to Montauk Inlet to finish the day.

There were dolphins all around Mon Tiki on our August 12, 2014 noon cruise. Apologies for the shaky camera work. Wish your had been with us!

Ideal condition and a lovely compliment of guests combined for a perfect sunset cruise on Block Island Sound, July 26, 2014

The only days Lucas and Capt. David get off are the days that are no good for sailing and no good for working on the boat. Fortunately, living in Montauk means there are always ways to have fun on the water, even on a rainy, foggy day!

Sometimes I forget I moved out here to surf. Thanks Lucas for getting me in the water, and thank Jimmy for this fish that still keeping me from being an old-man-longboarder, even though I hardly surf at all anymore! :-)

No wind on today's outing so we motored out to Montauk Lighthouse and saw a big school of bunker along the way.

A quiet December morning at Shadmoor Bluffs in Montauk NY

Sunrise November 20, 2013 Mon Tiki is a day and a half out from New York Harbor and headed towards Norfolk VA. The day before, Tuesday, had been a tough crossing 30 miles out from the mouth of the Delaware Bay, with northwest winds gusting to 30kts+ and short 8-10 foot seas, followed by a night with temperatures into the 30s. This footage was shot Wednesday morning, when the winds had clocked north and slacked to about 20kts -- picnic weather compared to the previous day. Mon Tiki's crew was feeling a little beat up, but Mon Tiki herself wasn't showing any strain. By noon we were sailing under the northern most span of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and into the Chesapeake Bay proper. The music is "Seductio ad Absurdum" off of Black Hi-Lighters's second album "Bite the Bullet" and featuring my friend James Poulos on vocals. I choose this music because loving the sea is a bit like loving a beautiful but temperamental and indifferent woman. Maybe you'd be better off loving someone else, but you don't choose love, love chooses you.

Kate and Andrew just got married. Both are Long Islanders but had never been to Montauk until their honeymoon. We spent the end of their first full day as husband and wife roaring out to Gardiners Island and back. Andrew had never sailed before, but he was a natural, holding a steady course and surfing Mon Tiki down the larger waves like he was born to it!
