And then, just like that, we swapped one magnificent body of water for another: LG for the AO.

Phase II of our extended family vacation was scheduled to take place at a vacation rental in Montauk, walking distance from Ditch Plains.

We took the Orient Pt. ferry over from New London (Otis had a blast). At one point, close to the end, a pod of maybe thirty dolphins were spotted off the port bow. I stuck a quarter in the binoculars and tried to get my camera to focus through ’em. It kinda worked, but the timing didn’t line up with when they were jumping.
