Steve, we ended up in Huntington Sunday night and although we plugged in (air
conditioning!) when we got up yesterday and stuck our nose out into Huntington
Bay is was not only stupidly hot but 0-5 kts. The bottom line is we bagged it
and returned to Oyster Bay, put Captiva back on her mooring and headed home to
the city and our air-conditioned apartment.
On the way back I tried you on 16 a few times but by then we were pulling into
our mooring field.
PS - After I got your email I went to my VHF and realized, yes it's DSC
(Standard Horizon Matrix), yes, I've got an MMSI # (#338037815), yes it's tied
to the chartplotter so it displays Lat/Lon, and it has that red cover over the
DSC Distress button, but I realized I didn't have a clue how to actually make a
DSC call!
So I just got off the phone with Vertex and he's sending me the owners manual
so I guess I should be able to make DSC calls by this weekend!!! If I figure
it out, I'll give you a call to your number if we get out on the water - at
this point there doesn't look like a hell of a break in this weather. For what
it's worth, here in NYC, the temp is 101 with a heat index of 105. I dread go
out to walk the dog - but it's got to be done........

Not sure when we'll be out. Perhaps tomorrow. My brother-in-law and family
are arriving tonight.
I scan 09, 13 & 16. Best way to hail me would be to use DSC. My MSSI is
338035302
The Gary Mull Rangers are great boats. Fast for their sized and age.

Looks like we've got a "starting" plan at the moment - apparently the Admiral
has informed me that we're going 'backwards' tomorrow morning. A good friend of
ours invited us to their house in Manhassett for a bbq Saturday night so it
looks like we'll sail over to Port Washington tomorrow and drop the hook or
pick up a mooring and get picked up and returned after dinner. Then Sunday
we'll probably start heading east and depending on how much of a lift we'll get
from the outgoing tide we'll make for Port Jeff or possibly even further on the
Conn side - maybe Charles Island or if we get some really nice SOG between the
current and whatever wind we might try for Duck Island....
Is there a specific VHF channel you listen on or just monitor 16?
Steve
By the way, I'm fascinated by those Rangers. I know they're a Gary Mull
design but they look almost identical to the late 70's/early '80s Hunter 33s
that John Cherubini designed. If you remember, we used to have an '81 H33.

We're hoping to get out this weekend. Not sure how it will go. Witchcraft
was splashed last week and I'm still cleaning up and commissioning. We're in
Stamford Harbor.

Now that we all seem to back on board (bad pun?) , are any NY, CT, or RI
sailors going to be out and about on the Sound this weekend and next week?
We're planning on heading out Saturday - heading East (probably Port Jeff
on Sat and then who knows....). Our only 'limitation' is we have to be back in
Oyster Bay by the morning or mid-day of Wednesday, the 7th.
