June 26th our 1st nine day cruise. We loaded up the boat and provisioned her for our trip. We would visit areas of Long Island that we were familiar with. First stop was Three Mile Harbor. The following day we would head for Sag Harbor with our friends Dick and Mary Ann of “Harmony” taking pictures of us as we cruised. After enjoying Sag we were off to West Neck Harbor on Shelter Island for a couple of days. Then back through Sag Harbor and off to Coecles Harbor another beautiful area great for swimming. From here we left for Dering Harbor where we visited with friends from our Marina, Maria and Roberto of “Grand Tango”. The great thing we love about Dering is dingying over to Green Port for shopping.  But I must say what Mark loves the most is putting me airborne in the dingy as we hit the wakes of the other boaters on the way over. After staying there a day the wind picked up and came right into the harbor, so off we went around the corner by Bug Light. It ended up being very calm there, and it was a new place for us to anchor. We soaked up the views and enjoyed the bon fires on the beach that night as we sipped our wine sitting in the lazarette. Day nine we had a beautiful sail back to the marina to again face reality (work on Monday).
