Weatha & Tides

As we get underway, the month and hours ahead look good for us to push off.

Not much happening in the North Atlantic. No named storms on Labor Day weekend! Uncommon.

Bannister Bay, Lawrence NY

Our favorite “launch pad” and landing pad when coming ‘n’ going from Great South Bay Long Island. We’ll have a coming-in tide late this afternoon. So we are sleeping in and we’ll leave after lunch. We can make this at dead low, but it is close. We try to use wind and tide to our advantage!
Long Island RR commuter train just passed, so now they can open the bridge for us. Reynolds Channel – Wreck Lead RR Bridge services Long Beach NY from Penn Station.
LIRR bridge to Long Beach… we made it before rush hour… avoiding longer waits for the bridge to open.
Our passage today. We had 1 foot of tide above dead low water for our approach to this great anchorage.
