We've been fairly focused on making miles each day (with some diversions) and now that we're in the protected waters of Long Island, we relax, sleep in, and start late. A nice wind carries us out into Little Peconic Bay, but a thunderhead is building quickly and headed our way. Sometimes these can bring violent winds, so we find a nearby cove and drop the sails. But the storm fizzles so we head out. Just as we're settling into sailing in much stronger wind, the dead t-storm is resurrected and bigger! Back into the cove. The storm misses us, but radar shows more headed our way so we stay put all afternoon.
Plenty to do while at anchor. Fix a broken batten, plan modifications for next season, and read. More t-storms likely tomorrow.
