Greenport,
Long Island to Nantucket Transit with Members
Aboard begins. After boarding 5 Members for our
transit to Nantucket we left Greenport at 0820
this AM in Thick Fog, and very light SE breeze.
Once we cleared Gardiners Island, all hands
set the Foresail and Jumbo. We continue to
Motorsail to the East towards Vineyard Sound. The
visibility has improved to approx. half
mile. Unless the wind fills in, we will anchor
tonight as the fog settles in again.
1900 We've dropped anchor at Tarpaulin Cove
beside the Schooners Lettie G. Howard and
Spirit of Massachussetts. The fog has
settled in thick, allowing us only to see the
ghosts of our company. All is damp, but beautiful
and serene. We've launched a dory and are
having some time for quiet recreation but all
will be turning in soon. Members and crew will
stand Anchor Watch. We plan to Haul back early in
the Morning to carry on towards Nantucket.
Special thanks to Stephen Wolfe for sending
along some of the photos!
