Glad to hear that the boat is coming along well and that you're happy with the work. Worth the trip in the long run.
The ride to Greenport can be killer. It only gets worse as the weather gets better. We used to go out there pretty often for the wineries, and spend the night.
A friend of mine has a rental house out there that he almost never goes to check on because of the traffic, and until recently he owned two motel rooms in Southold. He got rid of them because his wife hated the ride in the summer.
My wife was pushing for us to buy a piece of property out there back in the mid nineties before the prices went crazy. I was sorry I missed the boat for a while, but because of the crazy traffic the last few years I'm now glad we didn't buy anything.
