If you can make the challenge and this cruise I would encourage you to do so! Several of us were able to meet on LI last year for the First LI LH Challenge and we had a great time. The cruise was also a fun time. Probably the biggest complaint I would have about the cruise was that sometimes the captain put the boat so close to the light that I had to switch from my long lens to the close up one . . . . . not too often you have complaints like that!

Great trip. I meet many CF members on th boat. This year I am going to Door County. I wish they would have done this the same week as last time then I could have done both. Next year maybe. If you didnt get a chance to do it last year, Do it this year. Its worth the trip.

I hope to see some old and new LH friends at the LI Lighthouse challenge this year.

I'll be volunteering somewhere all day Saturday and Sunday in the AM (have a Poco concert on LI Sunday evening and will be meeting up with some Poconuts in the afternoon).

I'll add my kudos to this cruise. It was great. Got up close and personal with many Lighthouses and Lighthouse Wackos.

I won't be on any of the cruises- at least I don't think so.


You won't regret taking this one, though.

Thanks Dave, Fran, and Dennis!

I've been on some incarnation of this cruise numerous times, and I've always enjoyed it. Capt. Dave of the Peconic Star is a fantastic boat captain, and his crew is top notch. And he really does get the boat up close enough that you almost think you can reach out and touch the lighthouse!

I plan to be on all three cruises (working, of course)--so if you attend, please be sure to come up and say "hello."
