We're about to spend our second night aboard in Glen Cove, NY.  We're now on Long Island and reading the weather reports that tell us that a storm will roll in tomorrow (Monday) night.  So we've decided to bypass NYC and head up the Hudson tomorrow.  With luck we'll make it to Croton on the Hudson tomorrow night before the storms roll in -- which means a 6am departure.  Fortunately we are all very tired after a 66 mile run today so I'm guessing getting to sleep by 10pm shouldn't be a problem.  The day's run was wondrous!  Flat waters complemented by a crystal clear blue sky made for a marvelous run down Long Island Sound.  We docked like pros and then adjourned to the poop deck (as officially named by Christer who is a naval architect and should know about such things).  A beer or wine to celebrate and now off to wet burritos for dinner.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with wet burritos -- they are a marvelous concoction we learned about at a dive bar in Florida.  Make a traditional burrito, pour red enchilada sauce and cheddar cheese over it and bake it in the oven for 20 minutes and yum!!  We turn north tomorrow and begin heading toward Canada and places new to us.  Exciting!
