We made it! Ten days, including a final “double day”—instead of camping, we paddled overnight to get home just as dawn was breaking.
We are completely amazed by the diverse beauty of Long Island. We hadn’t previously realized how lovely it is—we know better now!
A full writeup is to come… but meantime, here are a few photos (move pointer over them for brief captions, click to enlarge). Many more photos to come!
Update July 11, 2012: The first of the series of full writeups is here.

We made it! Around Montauk Point the day before last. Around Orient Point today. In between, a lovely night at a bed and breakfast—and two relatively short days (20 miles yesterday, 10 today).
Rounding Montauk was exciting—details (and photos) to come.
Heading home now… four more days to go!
