CREW: Campbell Boisvert, Phineas Karambis
This voyage was quick, and ran like a well-oiled machine. With my summer vacation about to end, I wanted to seize one last chance to take a weekday sail. Coney island was less an objective than an excuse, and the choice of our new crewman, Phineas. However, owing to an unusual SSE breeze, and wonderfully calm condition, the voyages to and from were single tack, reachy affairs—fast, level, and fun. The two boys were able to spend much of the trip standing up on the rails forward of the mast.
On the island, we were pleased to see that other parties having been putting some work into our fort. We added some fasteners to the core structure, and converted the lean-to into more of an A-frame structure, using beach lumber. Next voyage I will have to bring a decent camera.
