Down the East River to Great Kills

Sept. 1 - get an early start from Duck Island for Port Jefferson. Prediction is for South winds 5 to 10 knots, but they are West Southwest all the way to Port Jeff (on our nose more or less) until just before we enter Port Jeff and then they pick up and move South a bit. Did 34 nm in about 6.5 hrs. with main and iron jenny. Not bad, not good, but at least the seas were down so that helped. Took a mooring and Kryss and Sam went into town to shop, do chores (laundry) etc. Wayne and Gail (friends from Hampton Bays) came to visit.
