Hiding for now.....

Well, we got up this AM to a real breezy morning.  Looked at all the weather forecasts and decided to stick our nose out to see the wind and sea-state for ourselves.  Yep, our nose got punched.  Winds were a steady 25knots with gusts into the low 30s.  No thank you!!!  Real issue is that the wind was from the WSW so when we rounded Montauk the wind would be dead ahead of us.  (Sailboats don't sail directly into the wind)  So we simply changed our plans.  Diverted our course for Lake Montauk; a large harbor west of Montauk.  Mostly large fishing yachts and commercial vessels.  Don't think this place has ever seen a sailboat before :)  Anyway we are anchored safely waiting for the wind to subside and change direction a bit.   Later today ?  Tomorrow for sure !?
