NAM-CONUS and HRRR models vindicated, got the 8-10 kn forecasted (never saw the 14 though). Heard about whales, dolphins, etc out past Breezy Point, but with the southerly wind, incoming tide, and little time we instead stuck with our beach swimming plan.

First heave-to had bow pointing toward Jamaica Bay. We took turns with a dive, noticed our 2kn drift was carrying toward land, and headed back out and away. Tried the heave to on the opposite tack with much better success. Half knot of drift meant we could each dive a couple times before heading back.

Short and salty sail and swim
