Mamaroneck to Port Washington

We took down the genoa while it was calm in the morning. The tear in the sail was worse than we anticipated. It is not worth trying to repair only to have it blow out somewhere else in a heavy breeze.

We headed over to Port Washington to refuel, pump-out and get a free mooring ball.  Enroute we encountered four sloops from the US Naval Academy heading toward the East River to catch the best tide for negotiating Hell Gate. We fell in behind them for a little while. Dwayne wondered if he became a Rear Admiral since we were bringing up the rear of the naval convoy. We suspect not.

We broke with the naval fleet as we approached Manhasset Bay. They continued on toward the East River. We went to the fuel dock to top off our tanks and took a mooring ball to settle in for the rest of the day. Carla broke out her cleaning supplies and went to work. Dwayne studied the charts and planned for the journey north.
