We set sail from Sag Harbor at about 815am under a nice fresh westerly, which unfortunately died off Gardiners Island. Despite our concerns about high winds off Block, we ended up motoring most of the way. We pulled into Block at about 330pm to find the town almost shut down. We made the best of it, though, with a trip to The Oar and then downtown to Ballards. Back to the boat at 7, in time for evening colors. We made the prudent decision to radio the Coast Guard patrol boat and alert them to our sunset gun lest they too mistake us for a weapon of mass destruction.
