| Schooner Ernestina has arrived at
Danford's Marina in Port Jefferson, NY for sails
with the Long Island Seaport Ecology Center by
morning after an all night transit. Crew take a
morning break before preparing for the evening
sail. Sixteen boy scouts and fathers will arrive
in late afternoon after a flight into LaGuardia
Airport and a limosine ride out the Long Island
Expressway. You can see,
in the image to the right, the final approach
track of the ship toward the harbor and the ship
at the dock in the inset. The tidal range in the
harbor is 9 feet with low tides at 1213 today and
1314 tomorrow. The ship will only be able to sail
at around mid-tide or better because of shallows
in the inner harbor.
