Day 94, 8.29.18 Bear Montain to Haverstraw

Good sailing in early morning, then the wind dies as it often does. We motor into Haverstraw Marina, and walk to town. We had read an account of the first white man's attempt to cross Labrador in 1903. Two of the three made it out alive, and the third, the leader, passed away in his tent in the wilderness. His partners brought out his body and he is buried here in Haverstraw. We visited his grave. 

Grave of Leonidas Hubbard.

Next stop the post office where Eileen and Allison were delighted to see us again and give us our package.

Post-mistresses extraordinaire. 

Lunch was down the street at Los Amigos, a cafeteria style restaurant serving food of the Dominican Republic. This town has a strong Caribbean presence.

Lunch, Dominican Republic style.

Another very hot walk back to the boat and showers at the marina. As the sun is getting low, we motor out and sail across Haverstraw Bay to deliver Ira to the train station for her ride back to her car and to home.

Sailing back it's nightime. Few boats are out, and we're surprised how many are either not using navigation lights or have incorrect lighting.
