Dennis,
Sorry we didn't connect ...
I made it to Old Field Point, Eaton's Neck, Huntington Harbor,and like you, decided to make the lightship ...
I had Fire island in my plans but never anticipated the wait that was had at HH ... over 90 minutes ... I guess that was both bad news and good news ...
And of course, the only sustained rain of the day came on the open-boat ride back from HH. By the time I made the lightship the sun was back out ...
Still and all, a great day .. the organizers should be commended for the effort and execution. I heard not one contrary word.
