"I sailed in and landed by a small path. About a hundred feet up on the island was a park campsite, a tent site with wood chips, and a grille. I walked to the main dock and self-registered myself. The island was equipped with toilets, a water pump, a picnic shelter and information on the island and trails to walk the island. I got my supper and enjoyed the sunset over Howe Island and went for a swim. After breakfast I loaded up again and this time, I sailed west and then south into the open water west of Grindstone (see map). With a SSW wind, it was a close tack with a good sea running for about 4 miles sailing toward the New York shore past Grindstone Island on the left and Hickory Island on the right. I rounded Papoose Island and Club Point on the left."
