9-25-10 Dunkirk, NY

We decided that the wind and waves would be better today, so we pulled up or anchor and headed toward Dunkirk, NY.  We made it there with winds of 20 to 25 knots and 6 to 9 foot waves.  They were behind us so our speed got up to 8.5 knots going down the big ones.  Steering was more strenuous with the big waves, but it was fun.  We finally made it to a town with a grocery store close by.  With our rations running low, my leather shoes were starting to look like a good meal.

                                                                   No more 90 degree weather for a while.
