Our deal with Marc & Michele (Marc's Ark) last night was to give us a call when they were ready to leave and we would join them for the trip up the lake. At 5:45 a.m. the phone rang and we were ready to leave at 6 a.m.

The lake started out pretty flat and we thought .. OK maybe leaving early would be a good thing.

A little later we were in 2 to 3 foot waves hitting our port stern quarter which kept the auto pilot confused. About half way we started seeing blobs on the radar that turned out to be ferries running across the lake from NY to NJ. When we got to their path we had to dodge 3 of them criss-crossing the lake. The lake laid down the rest of the way and it was a good ride.

We checked into the marina after a 41 mile ride at 10:15 and got fuel (154 gallons - $655.00) and a pump out before going to our slip. Marc had hit something a few days earlier and had his Mainship 40 pulled and changed props. After showers and boat chores we met for a short walk into town at 6 p.m. and dinner at a very neat little cafe. Best Philly steak sandwich yet.

This sign kind of bothered us but we didn't need the info after all.

We came out of the cafe to a drenching rain storm so we crossed the street to the laundromat and sat around in A/C comfort until it let up. The ladies had done laundry here earlier and it was a very nice place.

Back to the boat and drinks on Quest while we discussed plans to leave for the Customs Dock just a few 1,000 feet away tomorrow morning.

I would LOVE an opinion on the Mainship 40 ... :)
