Up before the crack of dawn we got ready to head out. The fog was hanging in the air but we could still see about a 1/4 mile so it was a go. We waited until 7am hoping the fog would clear up some and it did ,so we took off. We had decided to get as far as we could today since we had good sea's with only a foot or maybe a little more rolling waves and clear skies. It was very cold out so Bella and I stayed below for most of the day wrapped in a blanket. Carl had on a skull cap, gloves and a coat topside.About midday we finally joined Carl in the cockpit.Carl was using the new GPS that my dad got us before we left and boy is it nice.. It doesn't take any time to get up the information... We arrived at our destination of Shinnecock Long Island, NY which is about 50 miles from Block Island. We would have gone further but there was no place that we could get in for the night. Once we arrived Carl saw a Sea Tow guy and wanted to know about going down the channel on the inside to get farther South to Fire Island. He said no it was not a good idea so we set our anchor. Once we were secure Carl got down the dingy and we headed for shore. Carl had a bit of a time starting the outboard motor, but we did make it to shore, which was a beach area called Southampton. We played on the beach for a long time when a girl arrived with her 2 dogs, Pony and Bird. Bella was having a big time then....She was running around in and out of the water and just having a blast. We spent time talking to Pam who was a local girl and very nice. She even watched our dingy while we crossed the street to see the Atlantic side..When we got back she said it was beer time and did we want to go to a local bar. We declined, as we had already spent our months allotment, but we did have beer on the boat and we would be happy to share it she liked one. Pam said no she was gonna go to the store and would be back in 15 minutes and we hang out on the beach some more.. We went to the boat and got our vodka and she came back with ice, mixers, cheese,chips and beer and I mean beer. She bought Carl a 30 pack of Miller lite, which was great as he was running low... Pam you rock....The dogs kept playing and so did we.. A man named Henry stopped by to ask Carl about our wind generator then a Coast Guard guy stopped by with his 2 kids and they played with the dogs and he talked with us We talked about having a fire on the beach and the guy from the Coast Guard said no one would bother us as long as it didn't get to big...Next person to stop by was the George from Sea Tow who we talked to earlier with his dog. He told Carl where some stuff was for a fire, so Carl went and picked up lots of stuff for the fire. Carl hunter/gatherer..  He left and we got the fire started.. Man was this awesome... A fire on the beach at night in Long Island N.Y. Yeah Baby that's how we roll..... We were having a wonderful time...It was getting late and the firewood had run out so we called it a night. We told Pam we would be here tomorrow, as it wasn't a day we could travel, if she wanted to stop by again. She said she would do better than that , that she would take us to do laundry at her house and we could also get showers... Pam is best... I told her that I would bring food and make us dinner.. Shrimp Scampi. We had a deal.. We are so lucky with the people we meet..Carl also found a large turkey bone while he was looking for firewood, so Bella got a special treat when we got back on the boat..Now you know that made her happy, it was her first bone... She hasn't stopped chewing it yet... So today we wait for Pam in winds that are blowing about 20mph with gusts more and rough water.But this is still gonna be a great day.. Thanks to Pam
