Sailing past 🔥 island

We're sailing along Fire Island. The wind is nice, but the sea is a bit lumpy, so we're getting our sea legs and nobody is particularly hungry. Earlier we had fog, at one time so thick that we had 100 meter visibility, just when I wanted to take a nap. Between radar, AIS, and staying outside the shipping lane our biggest danger were small fishing vessels. Now we have 3 mile visibility, so the shore is hard to make out, but at least possible.

We have 140 miles to Nantucket, so if we can continue to maintain at least 7 knots, we should see it by noon tomorrow.
