Labor Day Weekend 2011

Eileen, Jamie and I busted out for a weekend away. A much needed weekend away! We provisioned up Domingoman and sailed 27 NM South to Herrington Harbor South, our favorite marina in Herring Bay. This is the same marina where Eileen and I ended our 4-day trip in early August. We had a blast. Here are some images from our trip!

This powerboat was a little too close for comfort. Of course, we were the stand-on vessel.

Fish on! We caught this bluefish and it was hysterical...Shiloh started barking at it as I was reeling it in!

Some impressive boat speed!

Reflections!

We converted the salon to a berth for Jamie. It was so much easier for him being in the salon vs. the V-berth.

Here is a video of our approach to Herring Bay. We were on a screaming close reach all the way from the mouth of Eastern Bay. We sailed above 7 knots for over an hour in 13-17 kt winds. This was really really fun!
