This was another motor sail. We had 35nm to cover to reach Manhasset Bay on the north side of Long Island. Progress was good. We left at 7:07am and arrived 3:05pm. Along the way we got in contact with the previous owners of Timeless (Larry and Laurie) who had their new boat (called Timeless II) berthed nearby.
They originally had planned to be sailing that afternoon with Larry’s mother. Our original plan was to make sure we passed each other by having the chance to shout something or other. In the end, Larry’s mother was not up for sailing so they were still berthed when we arrived. We took a free berth for a couple of hours and met them on their new boat. It was a Saga 43 which meant it was 43 foot long which (by the law of volumes) meant it had two and a half times the volume of our Timeless. It was a wonderful boat and it is understandable why they are happy with it. Although I think Larry likes sailing it and Laurie likes sitting on it.
After a couple of beers and a couple of hours of chatting we bid them farewell and motored over to our mooring courtesy of the KnickerBocker Yacht Club. That evening we at a Greek restaurant in town.
