The summer tour begins…first stop a short hop out to Fishers Island for some post 4th of July fireworks. We had never visited Fishers Island and frankly I really did not grasp how many people actually live on these islands that physically separated from the mainland. Ferry boat in their only mode of transport. I guess you just make a ferry ride part of the plan as you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great location to catch the afternoon races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crews aboard Kindred Spirit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We woke to a little fog…Magnolia engulfed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…..and then the fireworks barge arrived….JUST off Magnolia’s Bow…this could be interesting…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yup….very….ahhh….interesting….intense<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spectacular<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

back to interesting…….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end we were destroyed in a ball of fire though I would not have wanted to be any closer that is for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afternoon walk through the lovely park at the edge of town<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kindred Spirit had to make an appointment so while they took care of that, Magnolia headed for Montauk Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The passage down to Lake Montauk, NY was an easy half day passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is the coast of Fishers Island…lovely area for sure<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The “Race Lighthouse” This light sits at the edge of Fishers Island in an area known as the race. During tide changes, the water RACES through here (https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Race_Rock_Light<\/a> )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Entering the harbor you are greeted with the beautiful Montauk Coast Guard Station. What a summer posting this would make….perhaps the winter not so much ( https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coast_Guard_Station_Montauk<\/a> )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

SV Kismet (Jim & Laurie) were to be in Lake Montauk as well. We hera Kismet often on the HAM Radio but we seem to narrowly pass in many anchorages. Exploring Montauk Lighthouse was a real treat. ( https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Montauk_Point_Light<\/a> )<\/p>\n\n\n\n
