The weatherman played a trick on us. Yesterday's forecast of clear skies for this evening's trip never materialized. Instead, grey skies blew in on the southeast wind.
But no matter! We sailed out close-haul past the Shagwong buoy then enjoyed the long downhill slide back to Culloden Point and around into Fort Pond Bay.

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!
