2. Departure dinner
Fri Jul 10, 2026, 04:27 PM

Tomorrow we set sail down the Hudson to NY harbor. Then we’ll head into LI Sound for two weeks of cruising around various harbors and anchorages. We’ll also attend my 50th HS reunion. Fun!

For our night-before meal, we’ll start with shots of tequila to toast Aeolus and Poseidon in hopes of favorable winds and seas. Then small shrimp cocktails followed by pan-fried steaks, (we can’t grill in the marina as it’s a fire hazard). Steamed asparagus and homemade French fries to round out the meal. Chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

Wish us fair winds and following seas!
